Ready to fill with new oil (the fill bolt came free with a great crack after a bit of heat) but can't find the torque values for the drain and fill bolts. Mine have the 10mm allen heads.

Haven't found them in either the WSM or Andrew Olson's excellent table of bolt/torque values (just looked at his latest version for S4 Autos).

What's the correct value please?

Thanks Rob! I need a few more Nm as I'd tightened the drain to 24Nm before I posted, then realised I'd read value from WSM for manual gearbox drain and fill

The pictorial for that plug is not the same as with 90+ cars which use a seal. So, I'd say that spec is not enough. Unfortunately, the correct spec is not specified for these later cars.

Try 20 ft-lbs.
