Frequently asked questions

What is the typical wheel lug torque for an Audi?

Across 25 Audi models it ranges from 81 to 120 lbf·ft (110–163 N·m). Torque varies by model and year, so use the table above rather than a single value.

Do all Audi models use the same torque?

No. Audi uses 5 distinct torque values across the model years 1990–2025 listed here.

Do these figures apply to greased threads?

Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.
