Torque Settings subframe S2 Avant

[Durindart]

Hi Folks, I have two questions for the suspension-geeks out there

I changed all subframe mounts on my S2 Avant the last week. I used solid mounts from 034, everything worked fine. But I can´t find the right torque settings for the rear subframe.

I searched the forum several times and found two Versions for the front subframe:
70 Nm + 90 deg
110 Nm + 90 deg
so please, can anyone tell me which is the right setting?

and of course, who can tell me the settings for the Avant rear subframe? thanks!

Lower one is for 10mm bolts, higher one is for 12mm bolts

B3s90s, older coupes and most 3Bs had 10mm bolts, later cars like the ABYs and B4s (avant), had 12mm bolts. Just have to measure them.

Hmm,

I have just refurbed both front and rear subframes and used the following torque figures:

Rear - M10 - 35Nm+90 degrees
Front - M12 - 70Nm + 90 degrees

I think I got those figures from threads on here.

I have just checked ELSAWIN which I have bought since and it gives the same figures, admittedly for an Avant rather than Coupe but I can't see that would make a difference.

Have I done this correctly or have I misinterpreted something and under torqued them ?

110 Nm + 90 degrees is for the rear on the avant / saloon

70 Nm + 90 degrees is for the front M12

35 Nm + 90 degrees is for front M10

Thanks guys! Thats all I wanted to know.

I measured the bolts yesterday, they are all M12, front and rear. Interesting, that you have to tighten the rear sub so much stronger than the front subframe.
