So the engineers at Volkswagen have decided upon a

says no retorque.

Yet, when some mechanic out of nowhere gives you his

wondering who to listen to? geeez...

The choice is clear to me...

I'm no mechanic, but my guess the guy was thinking about VW diesel head b=
olts,
which DO get retorqued IIRC. =
