    Default Torque Spec & Brake Fluid

    Does anyone know the proper torque the wheel nut should be tightened on a VD FC?

    What is the correct/ best brake fluid to be used?

    Thanks

    'bout 100 ft lb.

    there will be all kinds of opinions, but I've found the most cost effective solution with a decent heat resistance is ATE blue.

    Default Castrol/Girling LMA

    That's what I use - inexpensive, easily available, easy on seals, and no temperature problems.

    Dave,
    I finally got the car complete. Just a few more adjustments to make. Hence the posting. I just want to make sure I get it right. It's come a long way since you have seen it.
