Torque value for oil drain plug

[briggy]

As per title - what is the torque value for the oil drain plug? Car is a Gen2 S. Gen1 seems to be 50Nm, so I wonder if it's the same?

 

Better still, is there a technical document / manual I can look this kind of thing up for myself?

 

Cheers,

50nm is about 37ftlb.  So basically that's what would be described as 'nipped up' with a standard wrench.  

 

A drain plug is not a part that needs a specific accurate load like say a head bolt or manifold nut, it just needs to be done up.  

 

50nm is fine and you won't strip anything on a Porsche sump or drain plug with that level of torque, nor will it work loose or leak.

a bit bit clunky but it's the official info
