Torque of sump bolts (changing to rubber gasket)
« on: 15 April 2008, 12:36 »
I've just bought a rubber sump gasket and was just wondering if anyone knows if the bolts are still done up to 20 N/M (15 lb/ft) or would it be any different ?

i dont know torque figure but it isnt very tight, i tighten them with a small amount of force on a 3/8" ratchet, a 1/2" would make it easy to strip the holes

According to the manual the torque is as above but I wondered if it was any different for a rubber gasket (does anyone know what type of gasket would have been fitted from new ?)

you might find the original bolts arnt long enough, etka deffo lists a different bolt for the rubber gasket.  as for the torque setting, I just nip them up!

Cant tell you the length but they are definately 100% different bolts to that of a cork gasket, I think i was quoted £12 for the full set of bolts from vw dealer?, That was at trade price. Give em a call :smiley:
