Title: Required Torque setting??
Post by: Robracer on 23 September 2014, 22:40

Hi guy's & gal's..

Just need a quick bit of advice.

Just in the finishing stages of rebuilding my 8v agg gti block. But i need a torque setting of the said nut in the pic below. I've trawled through the Haynes manual and the net, but to no avail?

How tight should it be etc?

Cheer's. Rob

I don't have a torque setting but it should be nipped up 25-30° past thumb tight. The casting that it's securing against is pretty thin so you don't want it distorting as it may fail to seal.
