Title: Front Brake Caliper Bolt/Pin Torque Setting?
Post by: mcgc0 on March 03, 2023, 09:55:12 am

Getting conflicting settings for these; Haynes manual suggests 30Nm whereas Autdoc caliper swap video suggests 35Nm. Probably go for the higher setting?

It's 30NM as per VW workshop manual.

Thanks Sebas. As soon as the caliper paint has dried on it goes. Noticed the CV rubber boot has split as well while I was in there. For such a cheap part it's a costly man hour job - don't really want to do this messy job myself tbh
