Torque settings

[jilap]

What are the torque settings for 997 gen2 C4S?

The whole car?

Sorry I meant wheel bolt torque wrench settings. Getting a tyre replace at a garage right now!

Ok. The usual 130NM for those. About 96 in old money.

Thanks that is what they said just double checking.

Black bolts or Silver?

The black bolts are 160Nm not 130......

They are black not silver. I just checked the Drivers Manual, Page 182 - Wheel Bolts section: says 130Nm (96 ftlb).

Pope 100% knows his stuff, it's his job

It looks like there is a Service Bulletin upping the torque to 160NM on later cars, but saying to use it on earlier ones too. Just for the black bolts.

Spot on... I called Porsche Centre Hatfield today and they confirmed it used to be 130NM but is now 160NM.

Is there anywhere one can view/search for "service bulletins" online?
