Hi, 

 

I'm planning on fitting some lowering springs on my car but am a little unsure of where to find the torque settings for the bolts I detach when refitting will these be in the handbook that came with the car or will I find these somewhere else 

 

thanks in advance for replies 

You won't find the torque figures in the car handbook, you'll need a workshop manual like Haynes, I'm guessing you have a 9N3 ?? if so I'll pull the details from the dealers manual.

Yes it's 9n3 gti

Here's the info on removing/installing the strut and dismantling/rebuilding the strut

That's excellent nige thanks it makes it look really complicated from that drawing though lol. Is there one for the rear as well? Where could I get one of these manuals?

Sorry forgot about the rear.

 

You can get it on ebay it's called ElsaWin it covers all VAG cars from 1995/6 to date if you install all the options (80+ Gb !!) but it can be a pain to install and unless it says in the advert it doesn't work with Win 10
