Puncture Repair Kit - Skoda Octavia Operating Instructions Manual

Replace the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair op-
tions.
The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts is 120 Nm.
WARNING
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a too low tightening torque, the rim
■
can come loose when the car is moving. A tightening torque which is too
high can damage the bolts and threads and this can result in permanent
deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim.
Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed until the tightening torque
■
has been checked.
