NFU engine torque specs

Does anyone know how much torque on the waterpump bolts?

I did 20Nm seems a bit low

Its a Cast iron block not the aluminium one.

I'll need the VIN for the specific vehicle.

That's no good to me, please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

The official torque setting is actually only 18 Nm. Wouldn't dream of only tightening them to that though. I cant say ive ever torqued a water pump bolt. just tighten them with a 1/4 drive ratchet.

That VIN is invalid and missing one alpha / digit and even with the 7 added as the third character, it's still wrong somewhere on the last 8.

Here - it is 20 N.m

Reference	Designation	Tightening procedure
(18)	Bolts - Coolant Pump	Tightening to 2 m.daN
(19)	Knock Sensor	Tightening to 2 m.daN
(20)	Plug - Lubrication System	Tightening to 2,5 m.daN
(21)	Bolts - Crankshaft Main Bearing Cap Casting	Tightening to 2 m.daN
(21)	Bolts - Crankshaft Main Bearing Cap Casting	Angular tighten to 49 ± 2 °
(22)	Bolts - Coolant Inlet Manifold	Tightening to 0,8 m.daN

This is the conversion:
Newton metre (N•m)20
deca Newton metre (daN•m)2
kilo Newton metre (kN•m)0.02
deci Newton metre (dN•m)200
centi Newton metre (cN•m)2000
milli Newton metre (mN•m)20000
micro Newton metre (?N•m)2 E+7
Newton millimetre (N•mm)20000

I torqued it 20nm , still it leaks

[GiveMeABreak]

If you have taken the water pump off, you MUST replace the O Ring with a new seal or it will leak in case you haven't done so, as these are not designed to be reused, as they deform and will never seal properly if refitted.

[jsp]

yes it has been replaced, I guess dayco aftermarket doesnt seal well?

[GiveMeABreak]

Several factors here - is it the exact correct part number and the quality of the aftermarket parts can be very hit and miss.

I torqued to 30Nm and its not leaking anymore
