Does anyone know how tight these are supposed to be?

Cheers,
Jimmy

From memory I thought they were the same as a camshaft pulley. Which is 56 lb/ft from memory. I'll check later when I have the Haynes to hand.

Sprocket bolts are 59 lb/ft.

Socket head cap screw 8x1.25mm torque setting is 42.6 Nm dry and 32.1 Nm lubed.

Couldn't find it in the haynes. That's the recommended torque setting from the spec. Sheet I use at work.

In the Haynes manual are these not listed as 'auxiliary drivebelt pulley bolts' in which case they are 20nm? Page 2A.2

That's what I tightened them too anyway.

You are quite right. "Drive pulley bolts". Spotted it on closer inspection.
