responding to: >>I don't understand your reference to only finger-tightening oil filters!!! My source in Dusseldorf has informed me that it is imperative to torque Vanagon 1.9/2.1L engines' oil filters to 2.2 ft-lbs of torque. How does one do THAT with simple "finger-tightening"??? BOB - WA4RRN '85GL - "Bourgeois" http://www.viagrarules.com<< Hello there, my first post on the Vanagon list, so exciting! On a EuroVan, (EV's are welcome here, right?? - haven't seen much) the filter has a 30mm socket fitting on it, much more than 2.2 ft-lbs is recommended. VW filter, part # 074 115 561, specifies 14 ft-lbs. Much more than finger tight! Crunch rings, NuVi '93 MV (cover model for Bentley Manual - honest!) |
