Thread: Rave CD Error??

the general rule when tightening anything like this, whether its the sump, head, rocker cover, manifold or whatever is to move from the centre out. Thats what I would do regardless of what Rave says. I'll check my copy & see what it says, but the 1970's manual from my S3 definitely had it from centre out
Cheers, Alex

My copy of RAVE says to tighten from the centre out, torqued to 25 Nm or 18lbf.ft.
I couldn't figure out how to copy the page including the diagram, otherwise I would have posted it here. I got RAVE in January, so it might be worth updating yours.
Cheers,
Alex

From my copy of RAVE, diagram for a steel sump:

I concur with rons image, thats how I'd do it regardless of whats in the book.

The final RAVE CD was published in 2002 and contains Discovery Series II Workshop Manual which is Publication Part No. VDR 100090 ENG (6). The most recent Workshop Manual is VDR 100090 ENG (9) dated 2005 but this is not available as a PDF to my knowledge.

There are a significant number of Tech Bulletins which were released after 2002 and contain updated procedures and torque settings. As an example the torque settings for the four bolts at the bell housing end of the sump were revised to 28 Nm after the sump gasket was redesigned to eliminate problems with oil leaks in that area.

The most up-to-date version of the workshop manual documentation is available by subscription on the LR Tech website : TOPIx - TOPIx

That appears to be for the V8, but I think Len has a Td5?

This is from the current revision (9) of RAVE:

Is that for the alloy sump? My diagram is for the steel sump.

Which version of the Td5 engine has a steel sump?
