Front hub nut torque setting

Post by CarbonChaos »

Does anyone have the correct torque setting for the front hub / driveshaft nuts on a 2007 9n3 1.4 16v bud engined polo ?
I know it’s not very tight maybe 70nm from memory?
Many thanks

12-point nut (self-locking)

q Specified torque for 13” running gear = 50 Nm

Apply locking fluid -D 185 400 A2- beforehand to the splines and the external thread of the drive shaft

q Specified torque for 14” - 15” running gear = 50 Nm and turn 45° further

q Always renew after removing.
