I need to remove and replace my steering wheel on a 2007 B6 Passat - I'm changing to a nice R36 wheel with paddles. My Haynes workshop manual says to torque the steering wheel retaining bolt to 30Nm then angle-tighten a further 90 degrees. This seems awfully tight.
Some forum posts overseas mention torqueing the bolt to around 45-50 Nm. Does anyone know the correct specification?
Also, Haynes say the bolt must be replaced each time it's removed whereas most sources say the bolt is good for 5 uses and should be marked with a centre punch each time as an indicator. Some sources recommend the use of Loctite.
Any advice?
