My gearbox mount is weak I will be changing it later on can anyone shed some light on weather I need to use a torque wrench to tighten up the bolts or if I make them tight as I can get them by hand will that be good enough?

Help please guys!

You seem to think that a torque wrench is for tightening bolts more than is possible by hand.

Not so. It's just a measuring device that allows you to tighten bolts to a known amount. This helps to reduce the chances of under- or over-tightening the bolt.

Never given it a thought lol was told they would need to be tightened with a torque and don't have one so would have gone and got one

If you go the torque wrench route, all figures you need are here - http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/octavia-mk1/drive_unit/1.8_ltr./110_kw_engine_mechanical_components/engine_assycylinder_blockcrankcase/removing_and_installing_engine/assembly_bracket/
