Torque setting for JX manifold studs and nuts.

Post by rob1927 »

Hello, could anyone advise me the correct torque measurement for the manifold studs(fitted to cylinder head)on my 1.6TD? And also once the studs are in, what is the correct torque for the nuts that secure the manifold to the cylinder head?

Many thanks,

Rob.

Not sure about whether there's a torque for fitting any studs, but the final torque for the nuts to both the exhuast manifold, and air intake manifold, is 25Nm.

If you haven't got a copy of the VAG Service Workshop Manuals for the JX drop me a PM and I'll send you a download link for the PDFs.
