My first thread restore ever, followed your advice and went with Time-Sert. Turned out pretty solid and torqued to factory specs. This was the thermostat housing, bolt snapped when I attempted to unscrew it. Thank you!3yr ⋅ corske ⋅ r/MechanicAdvice
For all the haters and people who made fun of me when I was asking for help on this thread. I did it all by myself headunit and backup camera. One ldiot said “if you can afford a merc you can afford to take it to a pro” (what a crappy mindset).3yr ⋅ corske ⋅ r/CarAV
The thermostat bolt snapped on my 05 Mercedes, I managed to take the pieces out with the cost of messing up the thread. Now I cleaned it pretty good tapped with m6 set, now the screw bites but wont tighten (will spin forever). What are my best options ? (pic is before cleanup)3yr ⋅ corske ⋅ r/MechanicAdvice
Need a second opinion 2012 535i 99k miles. Getting these errors, it won’t blow hot air at highest temp setting, water pump runs constant 124 rpms and sometimes 224 rpms, water temp goes up to 114C / 236F. Seems like a stuck thermostat to me? What do you think ?2yr ⋅ corske ⋅ r/BmwTech
