Torque settings??

Does anyone know the torque settings for the upper and lower inlets on my 172. Also from the throttle body to the inlet?

The torque for the bolts holding the plenum to the intake manifold should be 1.4dAN, i.e. not very tight. It should be the same torque for the throttle body bolts although when I cleaned my throttle body recently I couldn't even torque them up that much - it felt almost like the threads were knackered - so by careful with them ones.

Thanks for that piggoy, May as well get some use out of the £160 torque wrench i just bought!

PM an email and I can send you the official Renault service documents for the 172/182 with all the specified tightening torques.
