Just to correct George.... Cos I canhehe

Torque depends on which wheel nuts are fitted...

22mm lug nuts = 60 lb/ft...... Then 100 lb/ft......... Or 80 Nm......... Then 135 Nm


21mm lug nuts = 60 lb/ft.....then 133 lb/ft........or 80 Nm....... Then 180 Nm




My car is an 06 and has 22mm lug nuts smile

Sounds like you're volunteering to update the FAQs then!

Mine is a March 07. How do I find out the nut size? Try a socket and see if it fits?
Or measure it with a rule smile

If a 21mm socket won't fit..... It's a 22 hehehehe


Eurocarparts also do the sensors...... Add them in the basket and use test31 to get more money offsmile

2 sensors £38.92 with the codesmile

Hi, I'm sure you will be aware of this but just in case,
Torque wrenches when adjusted and set do not necessarily work to the indicated levels, they should be regularly checked against a calibrated torque meter to ensure accuracy, we have loads at work and find greater than 10% errors throughout the range even on fairly new units.
It's also best practice to back the tension off after use rather than setting them and leaving them permanently under tension.
