# Two-piece wheel bolts
|
|
|
|
Two- piece wheel bolts must be used for the vehicle. With two- piece wheel bolts, the ball seat is loosely connected to the head.
|
|
|
|
Single- piece wheel bolts may not be used. If you are not sure which wheel bolts can be used for your vehicle, consult a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.

# After changing a wheel
|
|
|
|
After changing a wheel 1. Clean the tools and place them back in the foam rubber holder in the luggage compartment. 2. Stow the changed wheel securely in the luggage compartment. 3. Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible at the nearest qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. 4. The damaged tyre should be replaced as soon as possible.

# Tightening torque for wheel bolts
|
|
|
|
Specified tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel or alloy wheel rims: $120 \text{Nm}$ .
|
|
|
|
If the wheel bolts are corroded and stiff, they must be renewed and the wheel hub threads cleaned before the tightening torque is checked.
|
|
|
|
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hubs.
|
|
|
|
The tightening torque should be checked with a properly functioning torque wrench immediately after changing a wheel.
|
|
|
|
# WARNING
|
|
|
|
If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is too low, the wheel bolts and thus the wheel can become loose while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel bolts and the threads could be damaged if the tightening torque is too high.
|
|
|
|
Incorrectly tightened or missing wheel bolts can lead to loss of control over the vehicle, serious accidents and fatal injuries. Always tighten the wheel bolts with the correct tightening torque. If you do not have a torque wrench available, tighten the wheel bolts with the wheel wrench and have the torque checked immediately by the nearest suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. Never drive if wheel bolts are missing or loose. Always use wheel bolts that match the wheel rims and the vehicle type. Never grease or oil the wheel bolt and the threads in the wheel hubs. This could cause them to loosen while the vehicle is in motion, even if the required torque setting is used. Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads of the wheel hubs are clean, smooth running and free of oil and grease. Never loosen the bolts on wheel rims with bolted- on rim rings.

# WARNING
|
|
|
|
If the wrong wheel bolts are used, the wheel bolts can come loose while driving and lead to loss of control over the vehicle, serious accidents and fatal injuries.
|
|
|
|
Always use wheel bolts that match the wheel rims and the vehicle type. Never use different wheel bolts. Use only two- piece wheel bolts on vehicles with two- piece wheel bolts.
