Hi,

I'm sorry, but this vehicle isn't offered in the US. Interestingly, the model year 2013 is the last year for them in the US.

The closest thing I have isn't any good for you. It's a 2013 2.0L. I attached them for you to see but that is the newest thing I have.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hello,

Below is the specification for the 1.4 Boosterjet engine, K14C

Note always replace stretch bolts
All tightening specs below have degree tightening specs so this would indicate that new bolts will be required.

Tightening torque:
Big-end bearing cap
Stage 1 15Nm
Stage 2 loosen all bolts to 0Nm
Stage 3 25 Nm
Stage 4 55 degrees

Main bearing cap
Stage 1 20Nm
Stage 2 40 Nm
Stage 3 60 degrees

See image 2 below for main bearing tightening sequence

Cylinder head
Stage 1 15Nm
Stage 2 30 Nm
Stage 3 70 degrees
Stage 4 65 degrees

See image 1 below for cylinder head bolt tightening sequence]

To tighten bolts to degree specification please use an angle gauge, see image 3

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Boris
