samm Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I changed the plugs on my tt today and noticed nearly all the cam cover bolts were loose some just finger tight,so anyone else doing this job make sure you check these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 They should not be very tight 6NM should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 In that case I may of slightly over tightened them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Check the cam cover seals, if they've not been replaced they will more than likely have gone hard hence the bolts become loose. Also replace the washers on the bolts as they come with rubber seals on them which also go hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Mine were also very loose, new cover seals, washers and bolts sorted the problem. Those washers get very hard with the heat and they seem to shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
