OK, I could google it, but what is a bogger hammer?
What mare did they cause?
I doubt I got it to 45N.m, but it was reasonably tight and with a good amount of thread lock on it. Interestingly, the nut that came with this kit has a nyloc insert. The one I took off didn't? Which is normal?I've always known them as a mud shield...flinger sounds plausible too...
As for the stud for the idler/tensioner - I couldn't find a torque required for the stud, but the nut is done up to 45N.m ....that being said, the use of thread lock will increase the break-free torque regardless of the torque you did it up too. Just don't over do it up!

300tdi Engine torque list.... We discussed this before ref your write up that you put together.
A bogger hammer, is a bigger hammer than the one you used before, without defining the use of a bigger hammer, if that makes sense...LOL

There was a new member who put out a cry of help, they managed to strip the thread by overtorqueing it. Ended up drilling , and using a helicoil.
All good fun.
Cheers
Stud is to 10N.m as per the excerpt Neilly posted....OK, I could google it, but what is a bogger hammer?

Nyloc nuts are used in anti-vibration applications, there are white ones and blue ones most commonly, Blue is Metric, White is imperial....there are other clolurs for more specialist applications. It is the Torque that will hold the fastner in place, the polymer insert will prevent it from vibrating loose.
Nowhere near that. Phew
We did indeed Neilly...I have just found it!
Pretty sure it was blue. The one I took off did not have a nyloc insert.
How far on does the flinger go? Bloggered right up against the pulley? I presume it's just an interference fit?
Would appreciate that, neilly. Guess it just needs a bit of clearance from the outer cover, so it doesn't rub.
Think I'll tidy mine up and add a coat of rustoleum. That'll make it a tighter fit.

very little as they are open to the sump
The feed should be. The return presumably less.
Is the feed not under pressure, James?
Would it be sensible to change them or clean them up?

just give it a clean if its undamaged they sometimes become crimped and so restricted
the feed is at normal oil pressure,the same with it
Makes sense and sounds good to me.
I'll give them a clean up and then keep an eye on them.
