torque

Just reading an Autocar road test of the new Merc C220 diesel. It's got a four-cylinder motor with 170bhp / 300lb-ft torque, and a six-speed manual box. Yet despite the big torque figures and relatively short gearing (4th gear is 22mph / 1000rpm, 5th gear is 26mph / 1000rpm), its in-gear...

Right who else bere suffers from torque steer? Since i bought mine i have noticed that the car pulls quite heavily to the left when putting my foot down. Consequently the left tyre has worn out quite alot more than the drivers side. I have had the tracking and camber sorted on the car which...

does anyone have a haynes manual as i have not and need to know what the torque is on the head bolts (lbs or newton meters) and what the sequence is for doin them bk up? if any1 could hep wiv this info would be great as tryin to get my car bk on the road for the weekend.;) thanks

Hi folks. I may have missed something here. Just read the short review in this link. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/FEATURES/WHEELSONTHAT/33642.html Am curious to know if the torque figure quoted (310 lb/ft) is what the new FR runs at or is the figure optimistic? I've got...

Righto. After giving the car another little test on the way home yesterday I'm finally going to give a little report on the remap. Some people may of noticed my questions about the flat spot at 3 to 3.5k. After testing it again yesterday I didn't really notice it. I'm not sure what was...

Just did a search to find out what i need to torque my wheel nuts up to on my Leon Cupra. I was suprised to see it appears to be 120Nm. Is that correct? It's just that my last car required 90Nm so i wasn't really expecting much of a difference! Does anyone know why the torque requirements vary...

Now im sure i found a torque reading on my vag com somewhere (i think) but i really cant remember the measuring block it was in, and i really want to find this figure out again, i have looked through the sticky on measuring blocks, is it in 120? Sure someone will be able to tell me this...

In another thread I have asked some question re tuning the new 170 bhp engine for hill climbing. With the DSG it would be brilliant as I could left foot brake - but I have a nasty feeling that it may have a fairly low torque rating - any information would be much appreciated.

I have just been told that the right torque for the tightening of the front strut brace is 20 ...but not sure if its 20 Nm or20 lb :doh: Can anyone confirmed that ;) there should be a little leaflet with the strut brace which I cant find :cry:

Hi Guys I recently got Vag-Com and a serial USB lead and I'm wondering is measuring block 20 an accurate way of determining torque or am I better using block 120 and using one either the dynoplot6 or block 120 tutorial spreadsheets?:shrug: Cheers Andy

Went to Interpro today to set my Audi up properly after having my propane and NOS fitted and this is what i came away with. :D Not bad for a PD140 daily run about. More to come when the bigger injectors and turbo get fitted.

Can someone please tell me what the torque setting is for the front Anti-roll bar links as I am fitting new ones tomorrow. I know that according to my Ibiza Mk2 Haynes manual it is 25Nm/18lbf ft, is this the same for the Mk3. The car in question is a 2000 model Ibiza Cupra Turbo. Thanks

Ive got a leon cupra 01 with cc stage 1 turbo back miltek baileys dv and k+n panel filter every now and again it seems like when i change gear there seems to be a jump in aceleration this only happens every now and again and sometimes their is a big hold back but not like turbo lag it seems to...

hi, please could someone confirm the correct settings for the dogbone mount on an LCR please, i have done a search and it came up with 30lb for the big bolts and 20lb for the smaller ones ??? i want to get it right first time around !! thanks matt

Hello guys, I want to know if a fricting plate is enough to increase your torque limit, if the friction plate can handle it? Or do you need a complete kit? Thanks

Guys Anyone know what the wheel nuts should be torqued to when changing wheels on a LCR :think: Need to put old wheels back on later to scrub in new tyres for trackday :happy: Search of the forum and SCN FAQ reveals no result on this :shrug: Don't want to under/over tighten bolts...

I'm just about to upgrade my front brakes but before I do - does anyone know the tightening torque for the front caliper retaining bolts on a Leon TDi, thanks?

What bhp/torque can an fr ibiza tdi take on standard clutch. I'm not buying a car to uprate the clutch. thanks

Im going to need to remove my fogs but don't have any torque tools and want to just get the one I need at the moment. Can anyone help with which one I need?
