Torque wrench settings for wheel bolt

[markjw]

Just had to change a wheel - nice long screw right through the tyre (fortunatly not one of the new ones I just had fitted). However I'm not sure of the value the bolts should be torqued to - can anyone help?

Car is Leon Mk1 110 TDi SE with 16" alloys.

Or the quick-fit setting... Long breaker bar as a wheel brace and bounce on it

I thought a few good stamps on the bar was it

but seriously not much can go wrong with 5 nuts on tight right????!

The Cuora R's are over 100psi?????

That is quite a bit any idea why?

 

[captcolourblind]

not psi mate. wheel torques are 110nm or 85lb/ft as prev mentioned

 

[Dennis]

I knew it wasn't psi but couldn't think of abreviation of lb/ft but thought on LCR it was over 110 lb/ft, probably did not check the units but did them to 85 anyway wench is set at that for the Lotus
