Like any garage is going to change the settings of their air guns dependent on whats written in the manual

But I don't know why the 4motion has a lower torque setting.

Chris.

 

Any garage that just used an impact gun or even a torque stick does not get my business. Demand they use a torque wrench or don't pay. As to the original question, good question. Because they said so.

 

Agreed, but I am talking about the VW dealer, where you have little or no choice.

Chris,

 

I'd have to agree with the torque wrench, my dealer definitely uses them and won't allow a rattle gun anywhere near anybody's wheels, VW, Audi, Porsche etc etc. As with everybody else I've no idea why the differences between FWD and 4motion though unless there's some different components in the hubs for some reason ??

Cheers
