p0l1wrath 10 Posted May 26, 2013 Recently my VR started making a clunking noise when going on the power and slowing up, I had a good look around underneath and seen that some of my driveshaft bolts onto the gearbox were loose! Got the car up and took them both out, repacked the cvs and put them back on the car and torqued them upto 40nm (found that torque in another thread) but some of them snapped as I was doing them up, I drove it home from my mates workshop and the clunking had stopped but halfway home the clunking started again Plan is to buy 12 new bolts from vw (hopefully not discontinued) and torque them up again! Anyone had this problem before? Am I doing the bolts up to the correct torque? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewvw 10 Posted May 26, 2013 45nm is the correct torque. Can only assume someone has overtightened them at some point and weakend the threads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
