hi all.

why do VW recommend changing the steering wheel bolt after using it 5 times? what will happen if used for the 6th time?

as it comes with a kind on blue lock tight paste in the tread this probably wont be effective the more you use the nut, but as long as it tight enough it wont be coming undone, even if it did loosen off you would feel the movement a long long time before the nut would ever fully unwind

if i am correct need to tighten it up to 50nm use a torque wrench should be all good and if you unsure use more thread lock which is why the blue stuff is
