How much torque? No harm in checking that out. What torque value should I use in this situation?

Yes, I'm afraid so. Hose blew a few months back. I stopped before the needle went into the red, but I understand that the gauge might not show exactly how hot the engine really is. I can't see what else it could be at this point. I've got a line on a rebuilt head anyway. I figure if I'm...

Ok, I just bypassed the EGR by running the hose into the heater core. I blocked off that small hose on top of the EGR. Same problem as before, but I've noticed when I run the car with the reservoir cap off, air streams in from the bottom, like someone is blowing into it hard with a straw...

Thanks, I keep seeing that posted. My mechanic said the same thing, a very rare thing for it to fail. But I followed a suggested posting here that said I should (with the car cold first thing in the morning) open the reservoir to let the air out, screw the cap back on, and run the car at 2200...

I had my wife's 03 TDI timing belt changed last February. My mechanic (good guy) said the head gasket was leaking, some soot in the reservoir and whatnot. I would like to save some bucks, and I'm quite sure that I can do it myself, but I'd like to avoid first timer errors. You wouldn't even...
