Where can I buy a bleeder alone?
Thank you. Thanks to this tutorial I was able to change the thermostat on a 206 1.4 hdi from 2007. For me the leak came from one of the four screws being loose. It's easy to do if you take your time. The tightening torque is 10 Nw.
The bleeder collar broke during recovery from the old housing.
I have the reference “Norma RSS PA66-GF35”
I can't find this reference to replace it.
Do you have any idea how to find it?

What is the purpose of the torx screw that we see in the second photo of step 12? On the old case it is screwed in while on the new part it is present but completely unscrewed.
This is to support the hose below the thermostat.
