Proper torque for sparkplugs C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark R. on  Mon Aug 11 07:08 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I just did the same job this past weekend. Surprisingly, this torque spec. is stated in the standard glovebox Owner's Manual.

[From memory, for my '00 C70 LPT - I believe it was 18.7 ft. lbs. +/- 3 ft. lbs. and a 75mm gap on the plugs themselves - BUT PLEASE CHECK ME OUT ON BOTH]
I haven't checked the link that used to give us access to the identical glovebox manuals online - but that's always an option if you don't have one.

As always, I used a tad of anti-seize compound on the new threads as even the o.e. Volvo plugs were a tad difficult to remove at 28,094 miles and I don't want metal-to-metal adhesion or a broken plug later. What delayed me a few WEEKS was that I had to buy a 30T Torx drive SOCKET as I couldn't remove the 8 screws holding down the cover w/ a 30T Torx screwdriver.
