I've got the Bentley Service Manual for the Jetta Mk5...

Its lists two different torque specs for the front drive axle bolts:

1. 12 point bolt, 70Nm (52 ft lb) then 90 degrees.
2. Hex bolt, 200 Nm (148 ft lb) then 180 degrees.

Thats a HUGE difference between the two bolts types! I've got the 12 point bolt.
Can someone please clairfy that the above is correct.

Thank you,

Dustin
