Intake manifold CORRECT torque specs. please
Replacing the intake manifold 2721402401 on a 2008 C280.
Got the procedure down , no problem, but there seems to be no agreement on the torque for the manifold to head .
"AI" search says it's 9nm then upto 20nm to finish.
Some you-tubers are at 9nm ...that's it, finished..... while others are 80 in lbs and still someone was at 9 ft lbs.
9 nm seems to be the most common but does anyone have a shop manual with the correct torque specs ?
Thanks
