yeah i saw that the plug was 40nm on that thread but also seen people say to do it at 30.

i hadent read the sump bolts thread but on others ive seen people say 20nm.

problem with the internet, so many different answers  :sad:

normally just do stuff up till i think its tight enough but with these bolts and plug i thought i would do it properly.

Autodata tells me the sump bolts should all be torqued to 20nm, whilst the sump plug must be torqued to 40nm..  :whistle:
