Water Pump Torque Specs?

S65 SCHNAUZER · 06-21-2021, 07:37 AM

So I'm getting a coolant leak somewhere after doing a thermostat/water pump replacement so wanted to see if anyone knew the proper torque spec for the water pump

Thanks

I'm not sure what the torque specs are but I had the same issue after replacing my thermostat and I found out that the overflow line was the culprit.

Took apart the thermostat again and found one of the o rings snapped and a bunch of coolant on the block lol...going to replace all the connecting lines, o rings, etc just to be safe
