A6 Compressor Drain plug torque

Post by Emdoller »

I have a 69 A6 compressor. I'm going to add oil through the drain plug on the side.

What's the correct torque for the drain plug?

Thanks!

I went back to all of my old manuals. I could not find a spec for the drain plug. If it were mine, I'd try 15 to 20 ft lbs.

Gasket kit on eBay from one vendor shows 15 lb/ft for an A5.
