Note:
The following description of removal and installation relates to vehicles with electronic throttle, secondary air system and exhaust gas recirculation. Some procedures do not apply for vehicles with older components.
Caution!
On vehicles equipped with telematics the telematics control unit must be switched to service mode before the battery terminals are disconnected.=>Radio, telephone and navigation system; Repair group 91
Obtain code on vehicles with coded radio/integrated radio and navigation system.
With ignition switched off disconnect battery earth strap.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
