Cheers Chris have a good study of that more than once, but concerned about Thermo housing, O ring to make seal any other sealant required and my teng 3/8 torque wrench lowest setting 15 ft lbs. what should I torque the thermo housing bolts to

Read the link that's been posted here and in the other ABS ECU thread just down from this

Thanks for that Tunnie, not wanting to upset anyone Im still none the wiser. I have watched the link over and over again, I sure heard I him say "Thats them torqued down" but to what, its not in the final list either. Haynes manual with my computer . I like to get the job done before clocks go back

Watched? Try reading it 

Replace seals on transfer pipe (if not replacing transfer pipe), and apply a smear of grease or vaseline to them.

Pull back the transfer pipe to allow room for thermostat to attach to engine block, and torque it to 20Nm, then push transfer pipe into thermostat

On this 3.2, the B-bolt only holds tarnsfer pipe and engine lift bracket. Others, the B-bolt goes through transfer pipe, dipstick, engine lift bracket.

It shouldn't need any extra sealant but I find that differential corrosion occurs between the alloy thermostat housing and the iron block so I give it a smear of Hylomar which seems to do the trick

Thanks Andy, just waiting for sky to clear then job on

When I did mine last year I ran a thin bead of grey oil cooler plate sealant ( only because I had it to hand as did cooler at the same time)around the outer edge just to be totally sure, as that very thin rubber 0 ring didn,t inspire me with the confidence it would fully seal up.

All has now been coolant tight for over 40k .
