#1: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Apr 02, 2015 3:50 pm ---- This washer goes between the oil cooler, further up.
I wonder if I replace it if it needs to be torqued up?
Thanks

#3: Re: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Fri Apr 03, 2015 2:29 pm ---- Nevermind, I tried all the things, I changed 3 gaskets, I torqued it up, down, no way. After a week the oil leak comes back.

#5: Re: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 6:01 pm ---- Shall hopefully be getting my new washer Thursday. When refitting is the a torque setting for the big bolt that screws through the oil cooler?

I would imagine there is considering there is a gasket behind it. Try it as hand tight plus a quarter turn and see from there, most rubber seals will be crushed beyond this point.

#8: Re: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:38 am ---- I have the new seal. Peugeot state a 8 nm tightening! Isn't that hand tight?

Without a torque wrench its hard to say
#10: Re: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:57 am ---- Could go for hand tight plus a 1/4 turn!
#11: Re: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 10:38 am ---- Not too much difference
#12: Re: May have found the cure for the leak on my 180 Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 12:13 pm ---- I found the cooler had lines on it so I hand tightened it then aligned it square
