Torque Settings

[kenclarke]

Hi I have put a couple of posts on here and I'm back for some more info please.

Have took head off and had it pressure tested, so now head going back on what I would like to know is the torque settings and tightening sequence and do I need to use new bolts for this model I have a 1999 v plate 1.9 tdi

Thanks all

Sequence and torque are the same regardless of whether you have the TDi or TDI with unit injectors. It's new bolts for sure and a four stage tightening - stage 1 40Nm, stage 2 60 Nm, stage 3 +90 degrees, stage 4 +90 degrees again.

 

Take left/right and front/back as you are looking at the engine while standing in front of the car.

 

Number 1 is front centre

2 is back centre

3 is front and 1 to right of centre bolt

4 is back and 1 to left of centre

5 is front and 1 to left of centre

6 is back and 1 right of centre

7 front outer

8 back outer

9 front outer

10 back outer

 

ie:

 

10____4_____2_____6_____8

 

7_____5_____1_____3_____9

 

Hope this is clear and helps.
