Water Bleed Screw Thread Size

[jas-E 1]

Hey,

 

Does anyone know if the plastic air bleeding screw on the mi16 thermostat housing has a standard thread size?I was bleeding my coolant system, and it broke off in my hand. Unfortunately it has a tiny hole in it which was dripping a tiny amount of water, and i have used sealant to block it off. There is still a tiny amount of water still leaking.

 

If anyone can confirm that its a standard size thread id appreciate it as i can just get a bolt and block it off for now.

(or alternatively if anyone has one kicking about please PM me).

 

Cheers

Same as on the 8v thermostat housing which is M6 iirc.

Hey Graham,

 

I have 2 8v thermostat housings at home (from 1.9 and 1.6 engines), and both the bleed screws are different. The 8v ones are more like caps whereas the mi16 one is more like a bolt. Hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks for ur reply though. Will try a M6 bolt..
