'07 Polo Dune 17" alloy wheel bolt torque settings

Post by Dune 2007 »

Hi guys, just bought the Missus a 2007 Polo Dune..
It has the factory standard 17" BBS alloys and I would like to know the torque settings for the wheel bolts please..
If you could give them to me in Ft Lbs or Kgm that would be great as my torque wrench only has these settings!
Cheers guys :)

:D Thanks Mr GTi Joe, that's a big help.. I dislodged one of the rear wheel cylinders while struggling to replace the brake shoes & springs, so today I'm bleeding the brakes!
Wheels off again, so will torque the bolts back up afterwards with the correct Ft lbs..
Cheers again feller!

I meant to post back after reading this, I hope that you realise that gti-joe while being correct is being a bit cruel - 120NM usually means 90lbft, now does that save you estimating where exactly 88.51lbs-ft is on your torque wrench?
