Does any one know the settings for ya wheel lugs?????

As I have had them done up at the tyre shop with an impact driver
but when I rotated them it was almost impossible to losen the lugs
lucky I was not changing a flat tyre in the rain!!!!!!!!

this is on a MK3 GTi

don't need to torque it up it's not load bearing, just put a sensible size ratchet on it and do it up by hand, don't hang off it and overtighten it, the washers hardly compress so don't go crazy on it just do it up tight.

sump plug..

wind it right in to finger tightness and then quarter turn with a Spanner or Socket
