I have to have a new water pump fitted does anyone know the correct torque setting for the bolts.
I have the factsheet but this little bit of info is missing.
Is it important??

Sort of tight and a bit more with a normal length socket wrench did it for me. Not sure about the Foot Pounds but it is more important that the bolts are evenly done up as you would know.
Best of luck and check the bolts after a week to be sure.
Not very helpful I know but you might be getting desperate!
Cheers,
Tim

Great news Dabs. Is it rude to ask what the £ was, in case I have to face the same on day
