CV center bolt

[audia4lyn]

Hi all, Can anyone pleas tel me the terque setting for the cv axle retaining bolt, it has an allen socket end. the car is an a4 b5 w reg 2.5 tdi. I have tracked down two possibles, 115 nm + 180 angle, or 190 nm + 180. I dont want to get it wrong.
Thanks.

Depends if its an M14 or M16 bolt, if its a 14 then its 115nm then 180 if M16 then its 190nm then 180 sorry cant help anymore without seeing the bolt, if you measure the diameter of the bolt it will be either 14mm or 16mm then just put a M in front and you will know which torque setting to use mate
