Here's why:
* Model Variations: Volkswagen produced many different models in 1969 (Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus, etc.). Each model might have different wheel bolt specifications.
* Engine and Transmission: Even within a model, the torque specification might vary based on the engine size and transmission type.
* Wheel Size: The wheel size can also affect the torque requirements.
To find the correct torque:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source of information.
2. Check a Volkswagen Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your 1969 VW model will provide the correct torque specification.
3. Contact a Volkswagen Dealer or Mechanic: They can provide you with the correct information based on your vehicle's details.
Important:
* Using the wrong torque can lead to loose wheels, which can be dangerous.
* It's always best to err on the side of caution and consult a reliable source for the correct torque specification.
* Always use a torque wrench to ensure accurate tightening.
