Torque for hub bolt 12 plate 1.6tdi

Featured Replies

Hi there, Just replaced a front bearing and bit confused re torque setting. Haynes manual describes different bolts and different settings. I assume the 1.6tdi is the same as the 1.9tdi as haynes don't cover that engine. Replaced it with an APEC bearing with black multi point bolt. Anyone know the torque setting. I have come up with 200nm plus either 90 or 180 degrees or another setting cant remember but left haynes manual in shed.

Bolt looks like this and the one on the car was rediculously tight. Took a 6 foot tube to move it.

Also the bolt I have doesnt seem to have threadlock so I am assuming I should I add a little but if its as tight as the original doubt I would need it

The other was 70nm plus 90 degrees  which is a lot less than 200nm plus 180 degrees. Hence the confusion. I assume it depends on the bolt but its a huge difference in torque
