[tinner]

2005 a3 1.6 , I am replacing the CV gaiter as there is a split , as you probably know this means stripping the hub so ineed to know the torque setting for the hub nut .

70nm + 90degrees if the bolt has small splines on the underside of the top flange, 200nm + 90 degrees if it does not.  The bolt also needs renewing as it is single use only (a stretch bolt, much like a cylinder head bolt).  Wheel bolts are 120mn.
