Rear wheel bearing torque setting.

[Ali_Hayes]

I need to know what the rear bearing/axle bolt torque setting is. I see people have said 200nm and 180nm then a 180 degree turn. On the seat manual I am reading 200nm with a 90 degree turn.
Car is a 4 wheel drive leon mk3 ST.
Thanks all

Your page above is for the 2wd rear hub.

The 4 drive rear hub is 200nm + 180deg

Bolt torque's are related to a particular bolt design - there has been 2 or 3 driveshaft/hub bolt types.
Make sure your bolt is matching the later MQB type bolt. The earlier VAG bolts are the same dimensions but different design and torque spec.
My bearing/hub came with the 'older' style bolt with serrations under the flange - which you will never get to 200nm + 180degs.
The later bolt is smooth under the flange.

Thank you. I will send a pic later on of the bolt.
