Title: Torque values for radiator switches - V6
Post by: gsizoli on 30 March 2011, 20:03:51

Hi, does anybody know the correct torque values for V6 radiator switches? (2 switches in the radiator with copper seal on the pasanger side)

do you need a torque setting. Tighten by hand then just NIP it up. It's going into plastic so anything more than nipped up will break something.  :y :y :y

In fact it goes to a nut behind the plastic... :y

I would follow Andy's advice all the same.

If the nut is held captive by the plastic or even by structural metal (if there is any) inside the radiator body, anything to do with fastening things to or through plastic requires a light touch in my view.

I will also follow Andy's advice, although I've found a 21NM for switches in TIS.
