Hi,
I am planning do a bunch of work on my 88 300TE but I just couldn't find the torque spec for the following:

1. Air filter cover screws (see picture)


2. Thermostat housing


3. Coolant temperature sensors


Thanks!

Sorry I can't find the sensors - you're on your own!

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Thanks for the links. Got a couple more..

The manual says 2.5NM. Are there torque wrenches that go that low?



I couldn't find information about these ones.

Thanks

Yes there are torque wrenches that go down as low as 2.5Nm - there are even ones that measure in the N cm range - and then I guess you might even be able to find N mm ones too. (NASA are probably the only people who use these ones though!)

Keep looking through the manuals on startek - the values are all there somewhere. Baptism of fire I know - but hey it is the only way.
