From VW T25(T3)-Tech
Jump to navigationJump to searchSpecial glow-plug ratchet spanner
Glow plugs are torqued to 22 ft lb (30 Nm)
The torque must NOT be exceeded beacuse this willc ause closing of the ring gap seal, which can lead to premature failure of the plug. Ring gap is approx. 20 thou (0.4mm), this can be seen at the point where the heated rod protrudes from the main body, which ring seals inside the plug hole.
