Hello All,

Have been replacing my thermostat today due to overheating issues, however, upon replacing with a new o ring, the housing leaks.

Should I be using a gasket, or would black or grey Loctite do the trick?

Thanks in advance,

Pete.

Hi Pete,

Are you sure the ring is seated correctly? If it is not then it will cause a weep. Did you use a genuine kit and replace the seal?

Replacing the thermostat due to overheating issues and upon replacing with a new o ring, the housing leaks. i guess the part you have replace may not fitted on it...

I replaced mine , the new stat came without an o ring so I used blue hylomar. Worked fine, also changed the pump.
Had to fit new rad in the end to cure overheating, been good now for 15k.

Hi mate i did one on my old 2.5 td last year and the o ring hadn`t quit seated properley and it dripped took it all apart again and used a  new o ring and no sealer it worked perfect

Sounds like the black plastic housing is not seating correctly to it's mating face. These are not usually problematic.

I must have not seated it properly, worked fine when I redid it.

Thanks for advice.
