Bolts and nuts

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2006 Audi TT, 2005 Audi TT, 2004 Audi TT, 2003 Audi TT, and 2002 Audi TT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tighten and loosen bolts and nuts for securing covers and housings in a diagonal sequence.
Delicate parts must not be cross-threaded. Loosen and tighten in stages in a diagonal sequence.
The tightening torques stated apply to unoiled bolts and nuts.
Replace self-locking bolts and nuts.

Ensure with installed connections that the contact surfaces as well as the visible surfaces of nuts and bolts are rewaxed after assembly, if necessary.
Use thread tap to remove remains of locking fluid from all threaded holes in which self-locking bolts are to be installed. Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear the next time they are removed.
