🔩 Torque settings
Values can differ between engine variants — check the code stamped on your block.
| Torque | Fastener / step |
|---|---|
| 2 Nm (1.5 lb-ft) | Unscrew bolts (3) and (4 |
ℹ️ Always cross-check the exact figure against your vehicle's factory manual before final tightening — a wrong torque can damage the engine. These values are extracted from workshop data and may not cover every variant or revision.
📋 Procedure
- Using a small screwdriver, open cover caps (1) and (2).
- Unscrew bolts (3) and (4) (2 Nm). — 2 Nm (1.5 lb-ft)
- Carefully pull sun visor bearing (1) out of mounting.
- ⚠ Hold sun visor. Allowing the sun visor to hang on the wiring harness is not permitted! — Grasp into opening in moulded headliner for sun visor wiring harness (1) using thumb and index finger as shown.
- ⚠ When the connector is subsequently pulled out of the retaining clip, there is a risk of the wiring harness becoming damaged. This occurs if the connector becomes dislodged abruptly from the retaining clip. For this reason, very carefully pull on wiring harness by hand, support palm of hand on vehicle for this. Force applied on wiring harness can be controlled, thus preventing an abrupt separation of wiring connections. — Hold onto the roof hand rail with one hand and gently pull on the wiring harness (towards windscreen) until the connector slips out of its retaining clip in the moulded headliner.
- Carefully pull connector (1) out through opening in moulded headliner; only pull until connector is just beneath moulded headliner.
- ⚠ Do not pull connector out any further as the flat cable (2) only has a limited amount of free length and could break. The flat cable may only be pulled out from the opening in the moulded headliner to a length of 1 cm. — Carefully disconnect connector, without pulling on flat cable.

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.
