I see...You did this from the "top- looking down" at the engine bay correcT?

 

[longfiredragon]

No, those pic.s are from the bottom. And the work you can only do from the bottom.

I just want to make sure there is no confusion here. This thread is talking about what I think is a housing that comes off of the water pump.

Just want to make sure you Are not thinking about the thermostat.

Nope, I just want to double check those "screws" so i can prevent a future leak.

 

[longfiredragon]

Gotcha, that's a good idea. If mine had not leaked, and I saw this thread I would do the same. All we need is to be out wheeling some where and have it start leaking. I carry my set of T drives with me as part of my recovery gear.

I find it interesting that the 2.0T Giulia has a pump and flange that looks the same. yet I've never seen one leak. I even checked a 2017 and they were tight. I feel this is a Jeep QC issue where they had an out of spec torque driver.

Agree, someone was smoking their lunch that day or, an out of cal. Torque wrench . Or they didn't care.

At least we now know about it and it's pretty easy fix.

Having been a manufacturing engineer, I chalk it up to it being a Friday, just before a long holiday weekend or they were threatening to go on strike. There were a number of loose items on my Jeep, so I figured it has to be one of the three previous mentioned ideas.

Is this the part?

Yes Sir that looks like it is the correct part.

Nice pic. Of that area. I did look but never found anything like that, nice job.

Is that diagram a photo of it looking from below the undercarrige?

#2 are the bolts. Just to make everyone feel better, I developed an oil leak and the bolts on that heat exchanger (to the right of the #2 on the pic). Tightened those up and no more leak.

I assume that's from looking at the undercarriage? what Torx screw is that
