From Bentley; there is a diagram with a specific tightening sequence I can't seem to paste here....

Tighten cylinder head bolts in two stages in sequence shown, as follows:
Stage 1 = 60 Nm.
Stage 2 = turn a further 1/2 turn (180 ° ) with a rigid wrench (turning 2 x 90 ° is also permissible).

Component

Bolts

Camshaft bearing caps and camshaft adjuster

Exhaust manifold to cylinder head

Front exhaust line to exhaust manifold

Oxygen sensor

Spark plugs

Toothed belt sprocket to camshaft

Intake manifold to cylinder head

I think that is everything you need HTH all figures are Nm and may need to be converted to lb-ft depending on your wrench obviously

one other quick question I have, for my timing.

When I use the tool which I am picking up this morning, I know it only goes on one way, should the rear markings on my cam bearings near my camshaft adjuster line up as well? I can see they will not. Have I done something wrong or should I just ignore this and go by what the tool.

I do know they have to be 16 links of chains and they are perfectly right, I know this and I have tripple checked and I have done exactly what I did on a previous Audi which I had, but the lined up and this one doesn't and therefore is confusing me.

Thanks so much again
