New wheels fitted, anyone know the correct torque setting for 18" alloys. ( no spacers fitted )

120nm seemed to be the recommended amount for most VAG cars I could find and that is what i use , although I didn't see it specifically listed for a TT anywhere.

120Nm/89 ft-lbs is OEM, per Bentley Service manual...I think it is also in the owners manual.

cheers

Thanks gents for the replies, was told by my local tyre /wheel fitter that he thought it was 110nm. Trust your
figures on this one though. One complication the new alloys are BBS Lm's rep's, and i know that the existing
wheel bolts were refitted, reading other threads there are two types of bolt profiles the question is are they
interchangeable i.e. Taper and radius. ( Radius fitted OE ) :?:

Not supposed to be interchangeable for safety reasons...but guess you'll post later if you've got wrong bolts on the reps. :wink:

When purchased all the details were given with regards the vehicle type etc, but when fitted didn't get the chance to check
whether or not they were taper/radius nor would i but for the forum threads on the matter. Will have to remove a bolt and check. :oops:

It is not the vehicle details that dictate the bolt required buddy, it is the wheel itself.
