so the GE116 glow plugs have arrived. The box says a torque spec of 15Nm. Everywhere I have read it appears to be 19Nm. Does that difference matter? What do you all torque it to?

More generally though, how much variation in torque is generally acceptable? Is a couple of Nm overtorqued okay or does even a Nm make a difference.

Factory service manual says 19mm....that's what I've always done. FYI my boxes say 15-20.

can someone confirm that Beru GE 116 is the correct glow plug for the E320 CDI 2006? The body looks like it is aluminum and the torque spec says 15Nm
