Hand and foot tight is the usual standard just make sure you lube the bolts and face and they will come off easy next time like this.

Thanks, I am looking to get them all the same though, looked around on a few forums and looks like around 120NM is average, I dont want to overtighten as i believe this can bugger the rotors,

Just had a look in our WTDR book and it lists 110nm for the MKV Golf.  HTH

Thanks guys, perhaps 115 is the way to go then,
