I've had this info at my fingertips from the factory manuals over the weekend so here goes -
Strut Top to Body (outer nyloc ) - 60Nm (needs VAG3078 or similar slotted 22mm and a hefty 7mm allen key with extension bar)
Strut Top Nut - 50Nm (needs special slotted tool - VW524 - use with 3078)
Track-Rod End (Nyloc) - 30Nm (17mm - note the FINE thread on this one)
Bottom Joint (Nyloc) - 50Nm (17mm with nut facing rear.
Three camber adjusting ribbed nuts on bottom joint - 65Nm
Link rod nuts (Nyloc)- 40Nm (17mm)
Wishbone to subframe bolts - 40Nm plus 180 degrees with vehicle on the ground (unless using Powerflex type bushes which can always rotate). These are stretch bolts which must be renewed on replacement.
Strut to hub carrier - 110Nm plus 90 degrees (22 or 24mm here - note the nuts face forwards on these). Also a stretch bolt that must be renewed.
Inner CV joint on front driveshaft to gearbox - 80Nm (M10 splined)
Front Hub bolt - 200Nm plus 90 degrees. Must be done with vehicle on the ground.
Damper securing ring to strut - 220Nm - needs special tool VAG2069 or similar
