Audi A4 wheel bolt torque
I got a flat tire repaired yesterday and when the repair
shop guy remounted it, I asked if the torque was 90 ft-lb. He said they did only 80 and 100, 80 for cars and 100 for trucks. Is 80 ft-lb okay? Thanks. -SJS |
80 is fine but 90 is better.

You should torque to 90ft-lbs, or 120Nm, just like the manual says.
Use a star pattern for best results. If you don't have a torque wrench of your own, you should get one. They are not expensive and they can save you a lot of hassle. You should be able to get a clicking type for about $20 at Sears. Be sure to get a 17mm socket. --Cesar On 20 Aug 2004 08:16:40 -0700, (sjsturner) wrote: >I got a flat tire repaired yesterday and when the repair >shop guy remounted it, I asked if the torque was 90 ft-lb. >He said they did only 80 and 100, 80 for cars and 100 for >trucks.
