Hi folks,
I've been reading (too much, it seems).
In a document i found within this collective and in the Haynes manual, they both mention the sump drain plug should be refitted and tightened to 42nm - that ifs tight (I've refitted front caplier bolts with a lower torque value than that (not to a GS though)).
I have also read elsewhere, that it's a 2 stage process - 23nm and then 32nm.
I am concerened that 42nm is very tight and the last thing I want to do is crack the sump or strip the threads, cuz that would be a very (very) expensive repair.
TIA
