What is it that is destroying the threads? I assume the OP's cooler is the original one and should have been intact? And still the threads are shot?

I wonder this because I once took my previous 2,6 to the dealers for very difficult to locate water leak and they found this exactly the same thing; stripped threads. The cooler had been intact by then and the car had done some 100k miles.

Does anyone have the measures for banjo bolts and dowty washers? I have access to a fair selection of these and would rather take them off the self to have them handy just in case than go to the stelaers

My mehanicars work
 

Looks like a monkey with a  hangover was let loose on that ..

Terrible .. absolutely terrible ..

Thing is, probably wasn't the mechanic's fault.

That bit of thread always has a nasty habit of breaking, I've seen it lots and lots.

If even MDTM won't change one without a spare handy, that speaks volumes

I reacon on 2.5-3 hours to do this job all in.

The threads seem to strip due to seizing (corrosion maybe?)
