A3 1.6 Torque Wrench Settings needed...

angry-adam · 09-27-2007, 09:01 PM

Hey every1. Hope u r all well. As u can see, Im new to this forum and could do with a little help!

Im in the middle of replacing the head gasket on my 1999 1.6 A3 but am stuck with the torque wrench settings for tightening the head bolts. I have tried to ask my local Audi dealership...who basically showed me the middle finger!

I believe you can get this information from the Haynes manual, but am struggling to find 1 due to work commitments etc. So, was wondering if any of u brainy ppl out there know what the setting are...or if there is an online manual where I could get this information from?

Any help in this matter would be appreciated. Well thats about it for now...jus want to say thanks in advance

Just had a look...the engine code is AKL if that helps any1. Iv heard u can get this engine in a MK4 Golf as well, but Im not too sure on that.

Like I said before...any help would be appreciated.

Cheers ppl!
