Hi all. What is the reference document I am after that will give me specs for my vehicle. Looking at Torque specs in particular. I have PET and a downloaded Manual. The manual doesn't seem to cover everything. It may tell you how tight to do up a oil drain plug but doesn't seem to say what Torque on a cam gear. Or do I need to have a better read.

Thanks

Greg

 

Here's a good spreadsheet with much of what you're looking for, though it won't have anything related to your automatic transmission:

Just went over there. Great job and thanks.

 

the full WSM gives torques on pretty much everything, including cam gear bolts. Or are you referring to the little 'Tech Specs' booklet? Like this one - http://v12.dyndns.org/Porsche/928/Te...ch%20Specs.pdf

Thanks for that. Also useful. I am starting to realize all torque settings are together. As an example section 19 talks about the thermostat housing with no mention of torque settings. You need to find them elsewhere. I am used to using a Toyota manual where it states the torque with the detailed process. All good I am getting there. I am heading away for a few weeks and want to read up as much as I can and have all the details ready to go for my return tasks. I sort of hate using on line manuals. Hard copy would be nicer. I saw some second hand recently for around $400. But its money better in the car for now.

 

There are pdf versions of all the manuals available on CD from Roger (I think), by Jim Morehouse - they are scanned from manuals, but can be searched , so are very useful. Cheap-ish but well worth it, you really cant get by without them.
As a guide, M6 bolts torque is 7ft/lbs, M8 15 ft/lbs, from the top of my head. Thats into alloy anyway.
