Wheel nuts torque

dannyAshcroft89 · Sep 30, 2014

I have had a quick browse and can't find what to set my torque wrench to tighten my wheel nuts on audi s3 2007,
I always over tighten them and paranoid that its not right so this way its a peice of mind for me

Can anyone help please?

I usually do 90Nm, that was quoted for my 3.2, is that too low?

120Nm and check again after 50 miles.

As tight as I can get them with the standard Audi wrench, then check them again in a couple of days to make sure they haven't come loose. Never had any probs but have always wanted torque wrench.

I thought it a
Was 110 nm that's what I've put mine to anyways but I'll make it 120 now

I noted that a dealer usually isn't very good at following wheel lug torque specs. In their case the impact gun rules. I've already challenged two dealerships about their impact guns. Hook'em up, turn the adjustment to max and go! If you ever get a flat on the road good luck getting the wheel off with factory tire wrench!

flag down a scaffold lorry and borrow a 16ft scaffold tube, would have them off in an instance, whether it shears off is another story though haha

Would be more worried about scratching the car, mind u I don't know why because I've got kids and will be ruined in the end anyway!
