@@MyHomeGarage that’s awesome I bought the kit to do the tranny service on my T-TDI. The preheating oil to 90c has me a bit scared I admit. Thanks again

[@MyHomeGarage]

Preheat transmission to between 35c-40c..

Video says 8Nm - I’m having a hard time finding a torque wrench with a setting that low- any suggestions?

[@MyHomeGarage]

Small ratchet hand tight

Thanks!

You can also get bicycle torque wrenches that have a range of roughly 2Nm-24Nm.

Pro tip.

I used Diesel Purge fluid in place of of the diesel fuel, but each works just fine.

[@MyHomeGarage]

I actually recently looked in to that and will be doing that in the spring when I replace my fuel filter again. Not only a good idea. Helps clean and keep things in good order. Also saves me from getting a fuel jug filling with diesel and doing all that lol. Terrific suggestion.

Just what I was looking for!!

[@ethancano4570]

What torque did you use on bolts?

[@MyHomeGarage]

Pretty sure I mention it in video. I don't remember off hand its really low. Like 88inch pounds or less
