    BOLTS FROM SUMP TO BELL HOUSING. WHICH TORQUE SETTINGS.??

    hi folks.
    just finishing up new sump gasket fit.
    thought of a few new swear words :-)))

    ok, on "td5 famous oil pump bolt article", it states that the lower 4 bolts on bell housing which go into the actual sump should be tightened to " 13NM "

    yet in "rave " instructions for auto box etc it says all bell housing bolts to " 50nm "

    which is right ??

    I couldn't believe that such large bolts that also handle all the torque of the engine should be 13NM, so I tightened them to about 60Nm.

    My thoughts exactly.
    I tightened them to 50nm as per rave.

    Thanks for reply.
