Nissan Micra

[SlackAlice]

My almost new car and I get a puncture. Its a 61 plate latest type, 15" 5.5J alloys.

Any one know what the wheelnut torque in either N/m or lbs/inch is?

I've found all the other models, but stuck for mine.

It will be on a sticker under petrol flap .. or in the driver's door opening.
You won't go far wrong with 30psi all round.

Thanks Albags, but I know the tyre pressures!

Wheel nut tightening torque, I'm getting between 80 N/m or 105 N/m?

[AlBags]

Oh .. blast ... I must be not thinking straight! ...

[AlBags]

I have come up with (alloy wheel .. from Nissan for the Micra K12 up to 2007)
is 77lb/ft or 104Nm. You won't be far out with that setting until you get one from dealer.

its written on the door bar next to the driver door x

Thanks Albags,
I've settled for 105N/m. Wandered round local tyre dealer to get the puncture repaired and that was his figure. When I visit the Nissan Main Agent I'll interrogate them!!

cathfromsaron, thanks, but only the tyre pressures there on the door pillar.

As an aside, do quick fit centres and garages actually use a torque wrench on each and every wheel nut or just whizz them up tight with a air gun?
