Hi all,

I am in the process of removing the bumper, bumper carrier, and putting the front end into service mode - all to be able to get at the dipstick tube in order to retreive a broken dipstick (believe me, I have tried EVERY other method I could think of or read about...)

Can someone please tell me what are the torque settings for the crush tube bolts, and the torque for the 4 nuts that secure the metal bumper carrier to the radiator area (there are two on each side, 13mm sized)

Many thanks!
Melanie

 

From the Bentley manual.

Crush tube to front subframe (M12 x 1.5 x 85mm) 100 Nm (74 tf-lb)
Crush tube to MFE (M6) 5 Nm (44 in-lb)
Engine splash shield to front bumper cover and MFE (M6 x 16mm) 6 Nm (53 in-lb)
Front bumper carrier to frame or to crush tube (M8) 22 Nm (16 ft-lb)

 

Thank You!!!
