Is there a torque value for the bolts (Part 18) that hold the bonnet latch (Part 14) into the hood/bonnet, in the link below?

Also, should threadlock be used?

According to TIS, 10 NM and replace screws.

Thanks, i had a look at TIS. I think it is the latch (for which there is no torque value listed) rather than the hook. There cannot much in it though. Thanks for posting.

Does anyone know if there is comparable file like this for the E36 M3? If so can you please send it to me? Thanks...

I've been in the E36 M3 world for over 15 years now and never came across something like this. Racegerman has a torque spec booklet for E36s but its just the values from the Bentley manual (which has some incorrect values) and isn't as comprehensive as this E46 guide.

Good to see you back online. Do you still have an E46 M3?

Obioban I just downloaded the PDF looking at the Dual Mass Flywheel page, the bolts look wrong, I think they are hex and it says no Loctite. I just watched FCP Euro clutch replacement video and they are using Loctite. Please verify?

Did this change? if you look at the bolts, they have thread locker on them

Yellow stuff is apparently thread sealant.

Great information.

Saw this diagram for the SMG pump referred to here https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...431#post317431

Anyone know where this diagram comes from? Would be good to add this info to the document, but MLR might have issues taking it as is if it's their "work"
