Hi could anyone tell me what to torque the mfts to? I have tried searching but so far have come up with nothing.

Cheers,

i believe it is 25 Nm on the 3b.
probably best wait for one of the experts to confirm if its the same for the aby before fitting .

Cheers for that. It will probably take a moment to get it fitted as i have just looked at the size of the socket that will be needed and it seems to be the only one that i don't have

have fun trying to get a socket close if the engine is in situ......as for torque not sure but i seem to remember it being quite tight to undo...

Yea unfortunatly the engine is still in there. By the look's of it this will be the easer job as i am going to replace the knock sensor's as well.

It shouldn't be done up too tight, just remember that the threads are Brass when fitting it. I fitted mine by screwing it in by hand until the little washer contacted the water rail/manifold, and then just nipped it up a little further with an adjustable spanner.

There was also a mention on the SJMautotechnik site about them failing due to possible overtightening. It was seen in some examples that the housing had cracked, or was porous, and the coolant had got into the electronics.
