VR6 subframe bolts torque spec

Recommended Posts

Chaps, 

I've gone to put my subframe back on today, and double checked the bentley for torque settings and it shows conflicting info. On page 40.2 it says 130 & 80Nm, but on page 40.19 it says 70 + 1/4 turn & 65Nm. The latter refers to vehicles with VR6 engine, but surely you'd think they would be higher and only marginally wouldn't you?  Anyone shed any light and confirm what the correct spec should be please?

Have another look at 40.17. At the very bottom it says for VR6 engine. I hope that helps

Sorry I got it wrong, 40.17 not 19. 

I'll go with that then, as I didn't quite get to 130nm first time round as it just seemed too tight by feel and I was afraid I'd rip the thread to pieces. Thanks Cressa. 👍

Well done mate. The Bentley manual confuses the tits off of me at times
