Banjo Bolt how tight

RussSTI · 02-25-2013, 07:20 PM

So lately i was dealing with a p0021 code so i decided to take out my ocv solenoid and clean the heck out of it along with the banjo bolt that sits right next to it.

Now so far check light has been gone been riding for 50 miles and still clear. Now my problem is an oil leak around the banjo bolt area.

My Question is how tight am i suppose to tighten that bolt or is it suppose to sit in a certain position for proper oil flow through that hole? Dont want anymore oil blockage or starvation.

did you replace the crush washers?

You tighten it enough to crush the washer just like an oil drain plug. Position doesn't matter.

the banjo bolt near the OCV (Driver Side) didnt have any crush washers. The ones on on the turbo side does.

There IS a torque spec. Don't have my FSM handy but it is around 19ft/lb IIRC

If you're throwing codes... you have bigger problems.
