The thread on the bolts are really easy to strip so the torque setting is low. I can find it on dialogys if you wish, but my best advice is to do them up finger tight and then just add a 1/4 turn extra. See if that works, but if there are leaks (the engine revs won't settle if there is an air leak) tighten a little more. In any case I would buy a few extra bolts in case you do strip them - Renault don't charge much for these sort of things.

Is it the bolts that strip or is it the thread in the lower inlet that strips as I think I've stripped one of mine.
