Wheel Bolt Torque Setting

[is1]

Does anyone definitively know what the correct wheel bolt torque setting for the Trophy is?

Thanks.

fucking tight

I do mine about 65-70nm and I find that's tight enough! I had a 182 FF before and the previous owner or garage had seriously over tightened the front wheel bolts. They must have put over 100nm on them, one had snapped in the hub which I had to drill out and re-tap! So don't over tighten them.

Interesting topic; I think you are too light - with the absence of any data I decided to use 120 nm - the same as specified for my Porsche which uses the same bolt size; never had a problem.

Happy to be put straight on this;-)

Its 105nm according to the Haynes manual for non-sport Clio's. This is what I use. 65-70nm is not tight enough.

120nm is pushing it - they can snap at 130nm so be careful (i have experienced this) . I do mine at 115nm to be safe. anything less than 100nm is too less imo.

sorry I meant ft ibs! not nm! which is about 95-100nm (OLD SCHOOL). Garages use air guns on wheel nuts and always over tighten them! They'll finish with the air gun then put the torque wrench on and it clicks off instantly = over tightened! I've seen this so many times!

115 it is then (for me now)
