Sump Plug and Fuel Filter tightening torques for Fabia Mk2

Featured Replies

I was trying to find the tightening torques for the sump plug and fuel filter. I have a new torque wrench to use. Im sure I had a thread ‘bookmarked’ on here with all the relevant info but I can’t seem to find it. Thanks

It's 30 Nm. If it's a click type torque wrench get some practice with it on fasteners you're not worried about overtightening first. It's easy to click out and keep applying torque, especially on low torque settings like this one. Get a feel for the click and practice stopping as soon as it clicks.

Thanks chimaera.......just to be clear, is it 30 Nm for both sump plug and oil filter cap?

Fuel filter cap bolts will be much less, so much less that your torque wrench probably won't go that low.

If it's a spin on filter, hand tight is enough. I'll have to dig out the service manual to check otherwise.
