🧭 Before you start
Fits: VW Passat B8 (3G, 2014–)
- Special tools named: T40093/3
Don't miss
- If engine support bracket10 - 222 A does not yet have hole (marked with (arrow)), the hole must now be drilled into engine support bracket.
- Then, mark adapter T40093/3-6 with T40093/3-6A.
- When hose and cable connections are located close to engine lifting eyes for support bracket10 - 222 A, they must now be removed.
- The webs (arrow) must face towards engine compartment.
- If fitted, pull off electrical lines in front area of web on right longitudinal member (arrow). Do not disconnect pipe/hose system.

🔩 Torque settings
Values can differ between engine variants — check the code stamped on your block.
| Torque | Fastener / step |
|---|---|
| 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) | Screw retainer(1) into free threaded hole and tighten |
| 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) | Connect two adapters(1) and tighten |
| 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) | Screw bracket onto adapters(1) and tighten |
| 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) | Screw connected adapters(1) into threaded hole and tighten |
| 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) | Screw retainer(1) into free threaded hole, and tighten it |
| 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) | Screw retainer(1) into free threaded hole (figure) and tighten |
| 8 Nm (5.9 lb-ft) | Specified torque of bolts (arrows |
| 8 Nm (5.9 lb-ft) | Tighten securing bolts (arrows) |
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

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.
