Hello

I suggested a listing of torque specs back on the previous site, but it never really took off and fizzled away.

So, I'll list what I have for the 6th Gen (F18B2 CG8 2002), open to correction and additions (and for other gens) and if useful can maybe confirmed by a mod and pinned to DIY or that gen subforum.

I understand these values to be dry torque and you may want to look at wet torque values if you use an anti seize compound. I believe using an anti seize compound on the threads from what I have read online, will cause the bolt/nut to over-torque due to the lack of friction.


Rockerhead Cover Bolts 7.2lbf-ft
Spark Plugs 13lbf-ft
Sump Bolt 33lbf-ft
Wheels Nut 80lbf-ft
Brake Caliper Bolt 20lbf-ft
Brake Caliper Bracket Bolt 79.6lbf-ft


So let it live or may it fade away in peace.... :rolleyes: haha

Very handy - cheers Andy.
 
Anyone know any torques for the i-ctdi diesel. Namely the oil filter, sump plug and wheel nuts. They are about the only 3 I can tackle at the moment but any others would be useful. Who knows I might be able to pluck up the courage to have a go at other things such as fuel filter, brakes etc.
 
Oil filter cap is 25nm
Wheel nuts are 108nm

Just checked sum plug is 44nm not 30 as I thought
 
But surely you an Al can work some magic ? :).
 
Guys, was gonna edit the initial post to include the additional requests for the i-CDTi, and include Newton metres scale - but the edit option isn't available :lol:

Cheers for the info mate... the edit option goes away after a certain amount of time... think it increases with post count.
 
Dan,

Thanks for the explanation regarding the 'edit'. Hopefully when the majority of the common bolts/nuts are covered by generation, for your average diy'er, this can be tidied and pinned!
