Many thanks for your replies

I did it to 50nm + 45 degrees (unloaded) the initial 50nm feels like it’s not enough but the subsequent 45 degrees gets it nice and tight, will put some miles on it and give it a check.

Many thanks

And sorry for another question
Is it torqued with wheel on sitting on the ground or unloaded on axle stand ?

Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I keep referring to it as a bolt but of course it is a nut, just shaped like a bolt
50nm plus 45 degree does seem to come up on some searches, anybody else confirm ?

Hello
I’ve just spent an age looking online for the torque setting for the driveshaft/hub bolt on 6c 1.0 Polo and can’t find an answer anywhere, it is the 36mm 12 point headed bolt with two tags to stop it coming loose, would anyone know the torque setting please ?

Many thanks in advance
