I had a look in my Haynes manual, and there is no torque specified for the
cooler there.

I must say I found the first section of the text about replacing the oil cooler
quite amusing:

"There is a rumor that someone once tried to fit a new oil cooler to a type3
engine without removing the engine from the car. It was whilst he was
reassembling it that they took him away. Don't try it!"

I guess the book is referring to the men in white coats, but I didn't feel I
needed treatment when I did this. I mean, It wasn't easy to replace the cooler
with the engine in the car, but it seemed to me that removing the engine first
would be a lot of extra work.
