not sure on a 5, but most small cars like clio's, fiesta's ect are about 90n/m. If in doubt you could get away with doing them at 110n/m :)

110nm is what i do.. FT is great and all but being the big strapping young man i am, i snapped one or two.. i'd avoid that unless you have a trained arm that has a nm setting..:)

as tight as I can get them buy hand :cooter:

Do people actually measure the torque settings surely not everyone does this
