Auto box sump

Post by Ciaoflyer »

Hi again

Should the sump bolts have washers on because I have undone it and they don’t. Also should the strainer screws have washers? Ta

Just normal washers

oil strainer 3nm (if you have anything that low) :shock:

make sure you lube the rubber seal (I used silicone spray) as if put on dry it will probably leak as it cant move into correct position on rolled edge if dry

sump 20nm (don't over torque as they strip) don't ask me how I know :idea
