TheFish Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi, Just looking at a steering wheel swap on a 1.4 TDI (02 plate)...was looking at Triple Square (XZN) M12 (12mm) sockets, but cross checking here, it looks like it will just be a 24mm nut. Does anyone know the torque setting, I assume use with thread lock. Also, does the steering wheel self line up? i.e. their look to be guides on MKIV Golfs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 50nm is the torque for the steering wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derv Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 The steering wheel fits on a splined shaft, so just point the wheels straight, put the steering wheel straight and tighten up the bolt. If the alignment is in any doubt then you can leave the nut loose, roll forwards and backwards to check the steering wheel is straight, then tighten it.

Skezza Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I just tightened it up lol. Didn't put on a torque wrench it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derv Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I hardly ever use a torque wrench. I prefer to feel when it's tight. Unless it's something like head bolts or conrod bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
