That's what I torque them to.

italic parentheses added by me.posted by TDIJetta99 in another thread: The only 10.9's are the 2 LARGE engine mount bolts that are the 12mm (x1.5) thread and use an 18mm socket..
Those are the smaller vertical mount bolts that go into the body of the car... VW part number N 105 167 01 - and yes, they're supposed to bew Grade 10.9 - although Tdijetta says he's only seen Grade 8.8... Torque value is 30 Ft*Lbs plus 90 degrees... The ones Runonbeer is talking about are the vertical bolts that go into the lower engine mount ("support" or "bracket" in the parts lists)... VW part number N 102 096 03...Jeff Heyerman said:10.9 stamped in the head. This is the M10x1.5 x 55 lg (just measured by me). Threaded all the way to the top. Bolts sourced from VW dealer.
I would be interested to know the answer to this as well.What is the torque spec for the rear upper shock mount (Mk4 Jetta)... anyone...?
Thanks,
Perhaps it's only me, but I'm not sure I like a HeliCoil in this spot... TimeSert appears to be much hardier...probably has an helicoli insert...
I looked that product up. Wasn't familiar with it. Asked one of the mechanics at work about it and he opened up his "special" toolbox with a set in it!!! Lucky day I guess.Perhaps it's only me, but I'm not sure I like a HeliCoil in this spot... TimeSert appears to be much hardier...
Good luck,
