I just use my best judgement. Usually as tight as I can get it, with a 1/2in dr ratchet.
By the book, you're meant to replace the micro-encapsualted bolt, too.

Thx, do you happen to know the torque spec for it when it goes back in again as well?

Do they sell those at the VW dealer parts shop?
The micro-encapsulated bolt i mean. I assume it's because it has some loctite on it?

Yes, can be sourced from VW without issue. Whether the dealer has one on the shelf is another thing. Worst case, they can get one in 1-2 days.

There's a guy in this video YouTube that says it can be used five times. But how would you know if the garage has already undone it a few times during service? I guess the garage changes them every time.

Normally score the bolt each time then you know when to change it.Originally Posted by iampivot
Torque is supposed to be 50nm from memory...

Got a new clock spring installed, but the angle sensor seems not to be initialised; getting the 'this seems to be an uninitialised control module; valid WSC/Importer/Equipment data may be required' message in VCDS. I tried using both the current values in the module and using the suggested defaults from VCDS, but it's not working. I seem to be unable to set the WSC code to the values that were on the previous sensor: the input field is greyed out. Is there a trick to doing this programming?

Have you driven it yet?

Yes. Should it usually fix itself?

It's weird, I can't get the angle sensor working. I can see the angle measurements if I go into 44 Steering Assist and select measurement, but not in 03 ABS brakes. Log file is here; Thursday,07,June,2018,18:03:46:47231 VCDS -- Windows Based VAG/VAS Emulator Run - Pastebin.com
The new angle sensor seems to be made in 2016 and has an updated hw / sw version relative to my old one from 20123, maybe I need some other modules updated or a different angle sensor?
