Anyone know what the recommended wheel nut torque is for the Panda 100 stock alloys? Went to check mine yesterday and realised it's not listed in the handbooks and Google didn't turn owt up?

This chart gives a wheel bolt tightening torque of 86Nm for steel wheels on a Panda which seems to apply also to virtually every Fiat in the range.
There is a reference to footnotes which take you to another page which recommends 90Nm for alloy wheels on a Panda.
I have used these torque settings on my daughter's Active1.1 (steel wheels) and my 4x4 with alloys and have had no problems.
The only other way to find out is ask the dealers. However, judging by how tight the wheel bolts are when my car has been serviced (ie far too tight), they eitheer don't know or couldn't care less.
