Dear all! please can I get a definitive answer as to whether this thermostat requires a paper gasket.

it is an OE Behr Thermostat and did not come with one.

Some people saying the O Ring is instead of paper gasket?

Please help?:confused:

That is the whole Bher unit with temp sender pre fitted ( small black bit on gold nut)
Was not so hard to fit, bottom bolt was a bit ora pain to get to, with lots of small turns taking forever to come off, but probably should have removed the battery to help get more space to fit a socket! I would rate as "little swearing" on the home mechanics scale that I use to determine whether or not to carry out such tasks or just pay an expert to do it properly!
