Bolts And Nuts
Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC.
- Loosen or tighten bolts and nuts on the covers or housings diagonally.
- The tightening specifications stated apply to non-oiled nuts and bolts.
- Use a wire brush to clean the threads of bolts that were installed with locking compound. Install the bolts with Locking Fluid AMV 185 101 A1.
- Clean the threaded holes for the self-locking bolts or for the bolts coated with locking fluid. Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear the next time they are removed.
- Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
