I am stuck 😔

As per Steve Walsh chart , there is two bolts 8.8 nd two studs... They are both nearly 6mm width ... Guess 12nm is a good shout

Without engine code, is a guess. You can torque to specs based to bolt diameter and strength, but there are other factors too like temp, pressure e.t.c. Also color is something that you can't count on because of different brands i suppose.In my opinion just tight bolts based on diameter of bolt and if you feel that isn't enough, just a bit like in video. Just don't "overkill" it. If you think by the video, that you have the same engine, bolts diameter, thermostat and gasket shape, then you can torque bolts with these specs.Otherwise , like on video (13 min.)

So this is a different kind thermostat from the one that you saw in video.These torque specs are for DW10FC engine which is newer version from yours.I believe that they have same or similar torque specs but this is a guess.I would tighten bolts in these torque specs and then by feel close to diameter bolt torque and i think you will be ok.This must be your thermostat i suppose.

Yes that is the thermostat I have.

I found a manual stating 8nm for all the bolts and nuts... 4nm for the studs themselves.

Many thanks
