## 🔧 Product Description

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.003 kg
-   30 applications across the TD and TAD series
-   Supersedes 20450745

## 🔌 Function

Spreads the clamp load of the fastener over the component face, protecting the surface and stopping the head from biting in.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Joint losing tension or working loose
-   Washer dished, cupped or bitten into by the fastener head
-   Corrosion or pitting on either face
-   Bore worn oval where the fastener passes through

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check you are fitting the same type of washer that came out — plain, hardened, sealing and locking washers are not interchangeable, and the wrong one either fails to seal or fails to hold
-   Treat sealing washers on fuel, oil and coolant unions as single-use; they seal by deforming onto the faces, so a used one will not seal reliably a second time
-   Clean the seating faces and make sure the washer sits flat and square, fully under the head or nut, before tightening — a washer trapped on a chamfer or edge will crush unevenly
-   Tighten the fastener to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine, and account for every washer on reassembly so none is left loose inside a housing or the engine bay
