you saying that vw didn't follow their own guide lines? Tut Tut

this is why your wheelbrace is inly about 12'' long - so you don't over tighten the nuts.

Yes the wheelbrace wouldn't touch them!! They went with a crack eventually, just a good job I checked rather than leave it until I had a puncture on the road somewhere.
