Torque Spec: Crank S Bolt

[SJ]

I do believe the final torque on the bolt is 322 ft-lbs.

We had a Looooooong discussion regarding the mysteries of tool 2079.

The discussion subject line was "Crank bolt torque for timing belt change
(10v)"
Date of Discussion was Dec 03
There are about 50 posts on this topic. Look up the Dec 03 quattro archive,
and sort by "Subject".

This post has links to a site showing how to build your own generic
extension and formulas. Photos included.

This is the link for the above generic extension. The link still works.

And, if you are a mental masochist, as apparently many of us are(judging
from the 50 posts), then this site is for you >
