Universal pliers for Oetiker steel clamps with a 3/8” connection

The pliers (TRISCAN reference 8541 10) are used when mounting standard as well as stainless steel clamps (INOX) of the Oetiker type on to the drive shaft gaiter.

On this type of gaiter, it is very important that the clamps are tightened to the torque specified by the manufacturer/vehicle manufacturer – typically between 20-30Nm.

PSA has changed the thermostat (Triscan ref. 8620 271 105) from an electronically controlled thermostat to a traditionally controlled thermostat.

The change means that, in addition to using a different type of thermostat, you must also use a blanking plug and a plastic tie for mounting and in several cases also a coolant hose.

All accessories, as well as detailed installation instructions, are delivered with both thermostats and for thermostat 8620 39989 a radiator hose is also included.
