Sump bolt torque... Surely not 10Nm

[Mulligan]

Can anyone give me some advice on the torque setting for a TU5 block? I just check the Haynes and it says 10Nm, this seems a little light.

Any help appreciated :y:

Its only an m6 bolt so that is probably about right.
I normaly just use . 1/4 ratchet and pinch them up.
Then once you have done them all and filled the oil extra run the car up to tempreture and make sure its not leaking and just nip them again.

Wow, quick replies, thanks alot for that.

No worries, and tbf mate haynes manuals tend to be the bibles for most cars. Never far wrong

If still unsure a little tweak tighter won't hurt its so you don't snap the bolts and crush the gasket
