Removing and installing sender wheel
Always renew the sender wheel -2- each time the screws are unscrewed -1-.
Tightening torque: 10 Nm + 90° (1/4 turn)
Note:
After securing the second time, the screw-on point of the countersunk screws in the sender wheel is so deformed that the screw heads on the crankshaft -3- make contact -arrows- and the sender wheel lies loose beneath the screws.

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.
