Spark plug torque settings

[porksword28]

Can anyone help. On my drive fitting new spark plugs and need to know what to torque them up to.

Not sure if the engine type wil make much difference. But looking at a 2.0 tfsi its 18-22 lb/ft (correct me if i'm wrong)

 

[porksword28]

Yeah think that's about right. Set mine to 20 lb/ft as that's as low as the torque wrench I had went! All back together now and running smoothly! Surprised how rusty one of them was, shows how much water gets in!

Do you have the engine cover on? Cos thats pretty rusted lol. Should have a look at mine since im running the Revo intake without cover.

 

[porksword28]

Yeah that's with the engine cover on. Can't imagine what it would be like if I'd left it off.

Cylinder 4?

They're laid out in the order they came out

Cylinder 1 by the looks of it. Leaky scuttle? Lost my first coilpack (cylinder 1) due to water ingress from a leaky scuttle

 

[porksword28]

Yeah damn scuttle. Gonna have to try and tackle it but no one seems to have come up with a good fix yet. Might just silicone the thing down!

put silicone over the 3 holes from the underside of your bonnet sorted it for me.

Just remember to open the bonnet after heavy rain and drain it all out from the recess in the bonnet
