What are head bolt torque settings on a Renault espace 1.9 dci?

Answer 1

These are the settings for a 1996 2.1tdi if it helps:

The cylinder head torque specs are;

stage 1: 30 Nm-

stage 2: 50 Nm-

stage 3:105 Nm

Start the engine, allow to run for 20 mins then switch it of and allow to cool for at least two &half hours. slacken each bolt of (IN TURN) and re tighten to:

a torque setting of 105Nm.

The sequence is a little harder to set out... there are 17 head bolts all in. Looking at the engine (front). Left side there are 4 bolts. Middle there are 5 bolts. On the right side there are 8 bolts. number from front to back:

left side. 12,4,5,13...

Middle. 16,8,1,9,17...

Right side.15,11,7,3,2,6,10,14...

Tightening sequence should start with No1: then 2 & 3 and so on, in a ever widening circular motion. to prevent head twist... DO NOT FORGET TO REPLACE THE HOLE SET OF HEAD BOLTS... It is a nightmare to get broken ones out.
