So I got bored last night and started looking around and noticed we had a master list for bolt size’s but I couldn't find one for the Torque specs. Yea I know just look in the FSM but some times its easier just to look on here and do a quick search for some things. So with that in mind I started looking thought the S5 FSM and writing down Torque specs for most of the things that the normal FC owner would hit up sometime in the cars life with them so here is what I came up with. Enjoy and if any one has anything else to add/fix then go ahead and do it.

Sticky.

 

^+1 I do like when people feel the urge to compile lots of needed info in one spot.

 

Alternator short bolt snapped at 15 ft-lbs of torque...might want to re-check that.

 

Where's the master list of bolt sizes?? I've only ever been able to find a partial list.

I agree to sticky or archive or something this list.

And I can't imagine any bolt breaking at 15 ft.-lbs. I'll bet the bolt was already weakened by over tightening.

 

disregard my previous statement, I checked the FSM and those are infact correct specifications. suppose the bolt had been over-torqued before and was just weakened.

Thanks.

 

I just synched the bolts down on my water pump according to this information...are we sure the spec is 13~20lbs? That seems very, very light. I've always done 30lbs, and the bolts were tighter than that coming off.

 

Its correct. They should have lock washers on them.

 

Sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you so much for putting in this post!

 

excellent stuff !

 

Does anyone know the torque specs for the studs that go from the back of the turbo to the precat or downpipe for S5 turbos?

 

Thank you very much for posting.

 

Thanks for posting this!

 

didn't expect to find this, thanks! very helpful

 

Is there a same list what has the torq in N*m ? It takes a long time to convert all this....

 

Fantastic... I also have a severe boredom that I like curing typically with productive little projects... Need to start applying that here.

Thanks bud.

 

It is a nice little list. Typically I use FSM, but I do keep a binder of all the FSM chapters I need and will print this up and keep it for reference.

 

I was having a hard time finding the torque specs for a 86 non turbo M/T mounting bolts to the rear housing.

I needed those and a few others.

This thread was exactly what I needed!!!!

Thanks OP!!!!!!!
