Torque wrench....

[Smith200]

Does anyone know the Torque wrench settings for the standard 197 wheels??

110 nm the book says

110 Nm is for the standard Clio, 135 Nm for the RenaultSport. It is in the RS supplement.

Why's that then???

So whats 135NM feel like? :-p you know... for people who don't have access to torque wrenches...

Quite hard and tight mate. :rofl:

 

[Roy]

Till it clicks a couple of times just don't over tighten them

 

[N0ddie]

You'd be surprised at how little 135Nm actually is. You can easily still nip it up quite a bit more with a normal socket.

theres two settings depending on which rs book you have -

140nm - rs supplement

130nm - pdf from renault site

130 in mine

blimey. Glad I read this, I thought the setting was 90Nm......I got this figure off a Continental tyres chart I think.

Best go nip my nuts up.....

If you've set them at 90 and go to do them up to 130 then be careful as your torque wrench will just click straight away.

You're better slacking them off and then re tightening them to get a more accurate figure.
