Except 28 Nm is 21 ft-lbs???? (18 ft lbs is 24 Nm)

Standard torque tables can be used for almost everything (check Bentley
if bolting into alloy, like the engine, though). The most common
fasteners on a VW are 6mm (10mm head), 8mm (13mm head), 10mm (17mm
head), and 12mm (19mm head).

torque in ft-lb
size grade/8.8 10.9 12.9
6mm 7 10 12
8mm 17 24 29
10mm 33 47 57
12mm 59 83 100

torque in Nm
size grade/8.8 10.9 12.9
6mm 10 14 16
8mm 23 33 39
10mm 45 64 77
12mm 80 113 136
