Torque Setting I have a S320 CDi (W220). I am planning to change the oil and would like to know if the sump bolt has to be retightened to a specific torque and if so what is the torque required? Thanks

Here are some general torque specifications for the 1997 Ford Festiva's engine and suspension components. However, please note that these specs can vary based on the specific model and engine type. It's always best to refer to your vehicle's repair manual for precise information:

**Engine Torque Specs (in foot-pounds):**
- Cylinder Head Bolts: 35-50 ft-lbs
- Exhaust Manifold Bolts: 13-16 ft-lbs
- Intake Manifold Bolts: 18-24 ft-lbs
- Main Bearing Cap Bolts: 51-61 ft-lbs
- Rod Bearing Cap Bolts: 23-27 ft-lbs
- Flywheel Bolts (Manual Transmission): 58-73 ft-lbs
- Flywheel Bolts (Automatic Transmission): 61-76 ft-lbs

**Suspension Torque Specs (in foot-pounds):**
- Ball Joint Nut: 30-40 ft-lbs
- Control Arm Bolts: 60-80 ft-lbs
- Shock Absorber Upper Mount Nuts: 14-21 ft-lbs
- Shock Absorber Lower Mount Bolt: 40-55 ft-lbs

Remember that these values are approximate and can vary based on the specific model and any modifications made to the vehicle. Always refer to your vehicle's repair manual or consult a professional mechanic for accurate torque specifications to ensure proper installation and safety.

The torque setting for the nuts on a 1996 Peugeot 306 hatchback will depend on the size of the nuts and the type of bolts they are used with. Here are the recommended torque settings for some of the more common fasteners on the Peugeot 306:

• Wheel nuts: 80-90 Nm
• Engine oil drain plug: 25-30 Nm
• Engine oil filter housing: 25-30 Nm
• Engine oil cooler hose banjo bolts: 25-30 Nm
• Engine oil pump mounting bolts: 25-30 Nm

These torque values are for general reference only and may vary depending on the specific model of the Peugeot 306 and the condition of the fasteners. It is always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct torque settings.

The main torque setting for the Toyota Corolla VVTi 1.3 engine will depend on the specific component or fastener being tightened. It is important to refer to the manufacturer's specifications or service manual for the correct torque values to use.
Here are some general torque values for common components on the Toyota Corolla VVTi 1.3 engine:

• Cylinder head bolts: 55 Nm (41 ft-lbs)
• Connecting rod nuts: 40 Nm (29 ft-lbs)
• Main bearing cap bolts: 65 Nm (48 ft-lbs)
• Oil pump bolts: 12 Nm (9 ft-lbs)
• Timing chain tensioner bolt: 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs)

It is important to note that these torque values are just estimates and may vary depending on the specific engine and component. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the correct torque values to use.
In addition, it is important to use a torque wrench to accurately tighten fasteners to the specified torque. Using the wrong torque value or over-tightening fasteners can lead to problems such as stripped threads, damaged components, or engine failure.
I hope this helps!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Oil pan or sump bolts aren't normally a very high torque setting. I think yours will be somewhere around 8ft/lbs, (11Nm).

Remove the oil, remove the sump, clean the edges thouroughly, apply Hylomar Blue, (it is good enough for Rolls Royce so good enough for any vehicle), apply the new gasket to the engine block and fix the sump back on with the bolts. Torque the bolts to the required specification and no tighter.

havent changed one for maybe 40 yrs ,,,,schh showing my age ,just dip in a bit of locktite and tighten with the air gun ,around 90 lbs ,turbo model timing is 21TDC ,through a hole in the housing on the back of the injection pump ,head bolts 120 turbo ,90 asperiated ,make sure you clean out the inlet manifold on a turbo as they often had casting sand sticking on the inside and missed on cleaning in the factory ,blam a guy called alan hasler it was his job to clean them ,nice chap but he had tunnel vision .Make sure you renew the leak off washers on the injectors or the sump fills with diesel .,Some of the models had fingers on the clutch which ere adjustable ,bolt clutch up and make sure they are all level if refitting a old clutch cover .

Tighten the cylinder head bolts. Tighten the cylinder head bolts is sequence to 29 Nm (3.0 kgf-m, 22 ft. lbs.). Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a preset type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and do not overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it, loosen the bolt and retighten it. Make sure the threads are clean, new heads bolts are best.

You need VW silicone sealant D 176 404 A2.

• Apply 2 to 3mm (1/8") bead of new sealant to oil pan sealing surface. Be sure to run bead on the inside of the bolt holes.
• Immediately install oil pan to cylinder block and loosely install M7 bolts diagonally.
• Install and lightly tighten M10 bolts securing oil pan to transmission.
• Diagonally tighten M7 oil pan bolt further, but not final torque.
• Diagonally torque M7 bolts securing oil pan to cylinder block.
• Oil pan to transmission (M10)... 45 Nm(33 ft-lb)
• Oil pan to cylinder block (M7)...15 Nm(11 ft-lb)
• Wait 30 minutes as prescribed and refill with proper viscosity and quantity of engine oil.
  

Dont forget to apply clean engine oil to the threads of each bolt for proper torquing. Then finger tighten. Then

1. Tighten the cylinder head bolts to their final torque specification in 4 steps. Use a crisscross sequence starting with the bolts at the middle of the head and working toward the outer bolts as follows: Step 1: Tighten each bolt to 14 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).Step 2: Tighten each bolt to 36 ft. lbs. (49 Nm).Step 3: Tighten each bolt to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).Step 4: Retighten only the 2 center bolts to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).

1. Step 1: Tighten each bolt to 14 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).
2. Step 2: Tighten each bolt to 36 ft. lbs. (49 Nm).
3. Step 3: Tighten each bolt to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).
4. Step 4: Retighten only the 2 center bolts to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).
