Going to do this at the weekend to hopefully fix the hesitation problem under acceleration
Borrowing the correct tools from a friend and competent with cars - my query is whether or not i need a torque wrench or whether you can just do them tight but not too tight?
If i do need one, anyone around bishops stortford / essex border have one i could borrow? :smiley:
-
No real need to use a torque wrench, just nip them up tight :happy2:
-
I'm sure there is a torque setting. Probably about 20ftlbs
-
The torque setting is very low so most wrenches aren't capable, IIRC i ended up using a 1/4" drive torque wrench!
Tip of the day is to use two cable ties to pull the coil-packs! :happy2:

Yeah I saw that on a thread somewhere, legendary way of removing them.
So basically just give them a good tighten, (assume that is what nip means)

25-29lb/ft (35-40Nm) :happy2:
