Volvo D16 Volvo Standard Tightening Torque
The tightening torques in the following tables apply to bolts with a tensile strength as shown below. The tables are to be
considered as a general instruction for the tightening torque of nuts and bolts when no other torque is stated.
NOTE!
For flanged bolts type U6FS the values should be increased by 10 %.
