While anything is possible, the first thing I would check is to find out what they torqued it to the last time. The correct torque is 92 lb- ft, while the similar bolt on a beetle gets a much lower torque. They are likely to have used the beetle figure, if any. It is hard to torque this bolt sufficiently with the engine in the car. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
