Torx Bolt Head Size
 

Hi everyone ... I am new to this forum and am located in Valencia, Spain.
I am just part way through the OM642 oil cooler seal replacement. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the head size of the 2 Torx bolts which fasten the turbo to the pedestal on this engine ... my car is a 2011 E350 CDI.
I have bought a set of E Torx sockets, but my Torx bits only go up to T40 and these bolts look like either T45 or T50 to me. I normally buy tools from Amazon over here, but will have to go out and source the bit locally as I want to crack on this weekend.
Thanks in advance

No worries ... I have sorted it out ... I had a set of larger torx bits that I don't remember buying !! it is a T45 for future reference.

Glad that you found the bits. I have a large assortment and seem eventually to use all of them.

Welcome to the Forum! Cool to have folks from other parts of the world - we Gringos are bad about thinking we're all there is (not sayin' that applies to anyone on here.....). We have a Brit living in Barcelona on BangShift (another forum I'm on a lot) and he adds a great perspective.

Rock On!!

Torx are a pain - I find it best to keep going up in size just in case. Often you think you've found the one that will fit but the next size up is quite often snugger
