I needed to remove the hydraulic hose between the crankcase and the pressure sender. Now as I put it back in I want to get the torque setting right. I have the NA Factory Service Manuals but the pressure sender connects directly to the crankcase (shown at 35 Nm). The hydraulic hose for the steering connections is 20 Nm. (I have a copy of the Turbo FSM but it's on backorder ).

Can anyone share the proper torque for this fitting?

Here's the part:




thanks,

Snug? (Yeah, I know that is not a help, but that prob true).

What'd ya have to remove it for?

I replaced the wiring harness. Total PITA. But it's done. The main harness wiring bunch ran between a metal strut and this hydraulic line. Removing the line made it easier (possible?).

BTW, I can't imagine even remotely beginning to replace this harness (recall in 2002) with the engine in the car. It took me hours to do it w/ the engine out. (Being careful, tight clearances, etc.)

Mike, "snug" is the best I may be able to do. I will try and find a turbo manual to see if there is something more. But I really don't want this thing to leak. It's deep inside the engine and probably only accessible w/ engine out.
