Ok. The usual 130NM for those. About 96 in old money.

They are black not silver. I just checked the Drivers Manual, Page 182 - Wheel Bolts section: says 130Nm (96 ftlb).

Pope 100% knows his stuff, it's his job

It looks like there is a Service Bulletin upping the torque to 160NM on later cars, but saying to use it on earlier ones too. Just for the black bolts.

Spot on... I called Porsche Centre Hatfield today and they confirmed it used to be 130NM but is now 160NM.

Is there anywhere one can view/search for "service bulletins" online?
