K9Jim:
can anyone recommend a torque wrench. i haven't got one. :oops:  i need to buy one for some work i'm gonna start on the cooling system and don't know too much about them . :-k
what sort do i need. reading about them it all gets confusing  :oops:

B90:
HI there.
Before you buy a torque wrench, you have to decide what range of settings you will be working with. If they are mostly small fasteners with low torque settings, then you will want a wrench that covers this range.
Britool make great torque wrenches but are very pricey. Teng make good stuff as well and are slightly more reasonable.
Then you have the "budget" end of the market, Clarke, Kamasa and un-branded stuff.
You pays your money and you takes your choice.
Hope this helps.

Halfords one are good for the money..... esp. if you've got a trade card  :wink:

What work are you doing on the cooling system???

K9Jim:
cheers guys,
porny, i've got a severe leak from the p gasket so whilst im replacing it  i'm replacing the rad which has a hole the size of my fist in it thanks to a fluke shot from a stray stone. removing my seized viscous fan and replacing with twin rangie fans on thermostat and switch, replace all the hoses oh and the rocker cover gasket again  :x
and cleaning the intercooler whilst its all out  :lol:  gonna take a couple of days nice and slowly with plenty of coffee breaks

so what sort of wrench would cover mostly engine work, nuts and bolts tightening etc. i notice there are different wrenches for different settings.
i know it sounds thick but this is all new to me  :oops:

Porny:
Are we talking a 300Tdi or a 200Tdi??  (I'd imagine a 300Tdi, but want to check)
