1.4 petrol dsg driveshaft nut torque

Post by uncledunnie »

I will be changing driveshafts this weekend and have been reading all I can about the torque setting of the driveshaft nuts....

I have a manual, from Easy Manuals, which appears to be VW in origin and it states 50N + 45deg.

I have also read of much higher settings and overtightening to seat the shaft and then re-torqueing to a lower value.....

Is there a definitive position on this !

any help would be much appreciated.
