Hey guys.. I searched the forums and internet wide and far for what I'm looking for but havent found anything on the subject of Oil Filter Housing gasket replacement on the M272 motor (2006 C230 V6).

Specifically what I'm looking for are the torque values for the oil filter housing bolts and also the oil cooler (attaches to oil filter housing) bolts.. gaskets are in the mail as I type this.

I have a clone C4 system but I havent been able to get WIS working on the laptop to read the exact procedures.. if someone has them that would be awesome!

I'm unclear if the thermostat and/or power steering pump (+reservoir) need to be removed for this job. If the PS pump or reservoir need to be removed, I might want to throw in a fluid change too then.
Coolant and engine oil have already been drained.

I'm attempting to replace the gaskets to hopefully fix a real bad oil leak in this area. --possibly went into the AC compressor bearings/clutch and caused it to fail (separate repair)

Anyone have experience with replacing these gaskets?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, the PN on my oil filter housing is A272 180 04 10.

 

Just following up here.. In order to perform this replacement, I've had to remove the following:
1. Thermostat (order new gasket + o-ring)
2. Lower idler pulley on water pump
3. Belt Tensioner

I was able to do this without having to remove the power steering pump or reservoir.

Here are some torque values I found based on the W211 procedure
8ft lbs bolts on oil cooler
12ft lbs on oil filter housing to crank case

 

This should help.

 

So did 12ft lbs work for you??? No leaks?? I've seen others say 20nm (~15ft lbs) for the bolts on the filter housing
