Audi/VW I-5 Engine rebuild TOOL list - What I'd need?

[David Eaton]

180nm + 180 degrees without the multiplier.  this has the (considerable)
advantage of not requiring a mondo torque wrench.

		Not so sure about this item. I have a brand new 540Nm torque
wrench I
		got from some auctioneer and it cost me $40 (in today's
currency
		conversion rates). It's a 3/4" drive and I got a new 27mm
3/4" drive
		impact socket last week and tightened the bolt up this
weekend. Scary. I
		didn't use the extension as I think that's a torque
multiplier.

		This raises the question as to the what the correct torque
is for the
		nut if the extension isn't used. I've seen it mentioned on
the list
		before that one should go up to around 400Nm if the
extension isn't
		used. I have mine on at 350Nm, so not sure if I should go
tighter.
