Crank bolt torque for timing belt change (10v)

[SJ]

This is a result of having the dreaded "detail-in-itis" disease.
I think the disease spreads thru contact with an Audi.
Having too much time on ones hands contributes to the syndrome.

I bet we got you laughing, didn't we?

Ok, I better go and do some experiments with my 3 torque wrenches . .. use
one against the other . . have to get the calculator . . . . . . .
spreadsheet . . . . .. . . . . . . ..  mumble mumble . . .
