    Looking for some help, can you download and install updates for app-connect for the Polo GTI.. or is this only a service centre function?

    Big 48hrs to celebrate her 2nd birthday;

    - Wash/Clay/Swirl remover/polish and wax
    - Rims off, inside of wheels cleaned along with calipers and wheel arch liners. Exhaust tips polished with metal polish. Bolts greased up with copper grease.
    - LiquiMoly intake clean (solvent) followed by oil and filter change.

    Love it!

    Bolts - copper grease. Use a minimum and keep it off the tapered seat.

    Torque measurements are given for a clean, non-lubricated fastener, so you shouldn't use any grease at all but I can understand wanting to counteract any additional corrosion. Lubrication increases the clamping force for the same torque value (120Nm on VW product?) with a higher potential to strip the thread.

    I'm not saying you over-lubricated but others might.

    No rattle guns involved. Just my What have you done with your Polo so far (and today) What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

    I said nothing about rattle guns.

    Wheel bolts are one of the few things I bother to use the torque wrench on. You'd be surprised how over-tight and uneven most people do wheel nuts.
    120Nm isn't a lot. A 45kg weakling can undo that with the standard wheel brace.

    Using a lubricant on the threads, the 120Nm is more like 180Nm in reality.

    Interesting you mention this, I usually torque my wheel bolts to 120 as well. But whenever VW rotates my tires after a service they are always done so much tighter, after that I never really bother as much

    It's actually the reverse, with unlubricated threads and taper (on the bolt and the wheel) 120 Nm (at the tension wrench) is more like 100 Nm (that the bolt feels). The bolts are spec'd for 120 Nm of stretch, so if we only tighten them to a real world 100 Nm they are not tightened to their spec.

    Plus the corrosion only gets worse if not cleaned and lubricated, so whilst the 100 Nm is the actual tightness it will take much more to undo the bolts. I've seen over 200 Nm required to undo badly corroded wheel and bolts.

    Cheers
    Gary
