Hi,
What should I set my Torque wrench to for the spark plugs on a 1.6 Scirocco MK2, can't seem to find any info on it anywhere.

I can't remember, but it's in Haynes. I was quite suprised, turned out I had not been doing them up tight enough for years. I swear it was 34nm, but defo check...

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.

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

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