Have you read the instructions for tightening the 300 TDi front bolt?
something along the lines of 59 ft lbs followed by 180 degrees, with loctite on the threads. I never actually got 180 degrees on it, even with a bit breaker bar and a bit of tube to make it longer. The bolt just stopped moving and I didn't see the point in overloading the breaker or the socket 'til something snapped.
