torque wrench setting for x2.5td inlet manifold
« on: 16 April 2011, 19:09:41 »
 :'(cananyone pleaseplease help a newbie? I have just replaced the glowplugs on my 2.5td cd estate. Although I have tightened the nuts on the inlet manifold and there are no leaks I would like to do the job properly and use the correct torque settings. Incidentally, having big hands I found the use of a magnetic pickup tool very useful for starting thmore awkward inner nuts.

No need to be embarrased, surely not every single but & bolt under the bonnet has its own torque setting. Surely we can be trusted to use a bit of common sense & just use a spanner? Afterall, there's a reason why a 6mm spanner is only 4" or 5" long & a 46mm spanner is 18" long  :y (I know I'm mixing my metric with Imperial units  ;))

Here they are John ........

Inlet manifold to cylinder head: 23Nm
Inlet manifold supports: 25Nm

I find it best to use a 3/8" drive 12mm deep-drive hexagon socket with wobble bar and palm ratchet.
Then suitably tighten/torque 'em.

'PM' me your email address and I'll send you other TD engine torque values.
