Club 80-90 Forums

Hello,

Quite new here... I'm rebuilding a 1985 1.9DG syncro (trying to read all the posts before I start my own topics...
Recently, I changed the front CV boots and removed the front diff as well.

Now I'm looking for the correct torque for the Front differential mounts. (The 2 with the rubbers supporting the rear bracket)

Can't find the torque for the gearbox mounts either? (suppose this is the same)

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum ....

I am looking this up for you in the manual and all I can see is the torque for the propshaft bolts which is 35NM. There is no reference to a figure for the gearbox or diff mounts, it just says 'tighten'. Out with the 2 ft swing bar .....

Please fill in your location so we know where you are

from memory 45nm but could be wrong it is in the bentley

it's not actually given but they are M10 so 45Nm, 33ftlb is correct, basically firm 17mm spanner tight no need to use an impact gun and ratchet them up like f

Thank you. 45Nm it will be.
It is a bit strange with the rubbers in between.

grts. Wimwolf

there's bushes in there you're not really compressing the rubber much

I thightened the bolts @ 45 Nm. Seems to me this is a bit too much? Rubber is totaly pressed toghetter now.
Anyway, I need to replace 1 bolt because its thread is rusty and even @ 60Nm the rubbers are still very loose.

Suppose these are M10x100 (fe) 8.8?

ok, solved.

Checked again, one had no bushes anymore, replaced it.
45Nm is fine, bolts are indeed M10x100 (fe 8.8 )
