D5244t11 injector torque wrench settings

[Han solo]

Hi all,
Noticed a bit of a whiff of diesel when the car starts, so had a rummage and 3 of the injectors are wet, thought I'd see if I could get away with nipping them up and found the bolts seemed very loose, I can't find the torque wrench setting anywhere.
Anybody got any ideas what it should be?
I've done them up to 15nm for now, which was about 4 complete turns, just to give you an idea.
Cheers,
Paul.

Evening , from memory the injector bolts are one time use DO NOT re-tighten them .

If the injectors are wet , firstly check the spill return pipes are not the cause of the fuel leak . These are the fabric ( from original ) that run across the top of the injectors and with time / heat & vibrations they degrade & dribble .

If you do decide to tighten the injector bolts again do not , buy a set of spring clamps & new bolts . Clean the thread hole with a tap to remove any junk that might cause the bolt to bind as it is tightened & wash out with brake cleaner , allowing it to dry before shoving bolt back . early engine I think are 28 Nm (21 Ftlb ) torque setting & later are only 13 Nm (9.5 Ftlb ) . I can almost achieve that with my fingers

Thanks for the reply,
Replacing the seals and clamps are next on my to do list.
What would be considered a later engine?
It's a 2012 v70
I've just driven into London this morning with plenty stop/starts, the smell has gone and much quieter when cold, more torque, so great in higher gears through the 20 mph zones.

Hi there , I seem to remember 2008 being the change point . I am sure a Vida/Dice owner can provide the definitive answers , I am sure one will read this & confirm the details for you

Thanks again, the injectors will have to wait for now as one of the rear shocks just expired

isn't that always the way , try praying to Pagan forces or the dark side
