Oil Cooler Plate Sealant
« on: 09 August 2022, 20:31:29 »
hi

Can anyone confirm the correct Elring gasket sealant I need for the oil cooler? I see on fleabay there is different coloured ones red/grey/black with all this technical mumbojumbo in the description, and not sure if there is a difference between them, if at all, or what one I need?

Thanks

I read on here somewhere. Loctite SI 5660, is equivalent to Vauxhall grey sealant.

Whats wrong with the VX Grey stuff?, its certainly cheaper than the Loctite Sealents and I believe you get more of it.  :-\

Because Loctite(or any of the other equivalents) is readily available anywhere you can buy car parts.

No I never asked, was just going to go with the elring stuff I used for my sump, but not sure if it was a different type for the sump.
