Oil thermostat bolt ergent!

[terrybullwon]

Got a leak coming from my threaded insert on what was my oil thermostat.

Only bloody leak to!

Has any one got a bolt or know of a threaded bar or fitting that's the same thread?

Cheers James

Do you mean the big bolt that holds the filter/thermostat housing onto the block?

[terrybullwon]

Yes that's the badger Andy

I have a bolt, not sure what thread size it is though, it measures 19mm. You know theres an O ring at the top of the bolt? I'm sure mine weeped and I just replaced the O ring. I'd post a pic but Photobucket is down at the moment.

I have a blanking plate with a douty washer on the end, and a bolt made from a tube with a An fitting welded onto it, I am thinking its a finer thread than I have taped.

Could you PTFE tape what you have temporarily?

Thanks Guys Andy is sending me down a bolt from a TDI block should do the job.

The thread on the block is 3/4 UNF not a metric thread for reference
