Re: Spark Plug Torque
its usually on the side of the packet of the plug.
im pretty sure 34nm is too much as the bosch plugs typically state 25nm and a 1/4 turn.

Re: Spark Plug Torque
I go for snug plus a 1/4 turn to help me sleep at night. I make a click sound with my mouth too.

Re: Spark Plug Torque
Thanks for the info everyone. The plugs themselves said 28Nm, so I went for 24Nm as it was in between!
Cheers, Liam
