[Mello-Yellow]

What is the torque setting for the alternater nut on a '00 996.

Mine has worked it's way loose

Haynes says 186nm

Before you do it up, check the flat washer behind it is in the correct place and not dropped down.

I had the same thing and the washer got mashed by the gears and part of it found its way onto the sump plug.

Do a search on here for more info on this problem.

yep you need to strip it down to make sure it all goes back correctly

[Mello-Yellow]

Flat washer is split.

Have been told a different figure for the torque 270nm.


Sounds quite high this one.

270 is for the later testastreta engines
