Absolutely.Here's the torque info...I thought that the Bentley you have mentions the 1V in some respects but fails to give the torquing procedure specifically. I think I'm right in saying it does mention procedure forthe ME and the MF. I suspect that they re the same. As the 1V is turboed with no boost, its power output is in between the n/a and the TD. there is no reason not to use the same torque procedure. As stated, the 1V head and the MF head are the same 'bare head'part number.068 103 351 AA 'JP'068 103 351 AB 'JR'068 103 351 AC 'ME'068 103 351 AD '1V &MF'068 103 351 AF 'RA'068 103 351 AK 'SB'If you don't like all that seemingly excessive angle torquing, simply follow my 'contraversal' procedure dotted around the forum...
For those with a 1V engine and the Bentley that I have but not this forum to consult with, if they followed the procedure in the manual, they would have been directed to not do the 1000 mile torque sequence. What will happen? Will head gasket failure be imminant and how long will it take?
If I have this correct; your Bentley states for ME [an n/a] and MF a turboed, fuel boosted engine, use extra torque after 1000 miles. Does it say ONLY? Please quote the Bentley.Are you saying that in it's absence of mention of 1V, that it is excluded from the procedure? How about JR and JP? or CY for that matter.

after approx 1000 miles, retorque bolts in sequence an additional 1/4 turn, w/o loosening and w/o interruptionThat is every VW engine with 12mm tty bolts and fiber gasket.
I don't believe the exact mileage to be so critical vs. an easy to track number on the odometer, that allows sufficient heat/cool cycles for the head gasket to reach its operating thickness.And technically, 1000 km could be one single heat/cool cycle on these cars... I've been refilling at 620 miles and would run continuously between fill-ups. 1000 miles could potentially be seen before the second thermal cycle is complete.Chris
Do you not believe what I wrote regarding what my Bentley says in regards to the head gasket torque procedure? At issue here is why they wrote what they did and I want to get to the bottom of it.Quote from: theman53 on August 26, 2011, 09:49:40 amafter approx 1000 miles, retorque bolts in sequence an additional 1/4 turn, w/o loosening and w/o interruptionThat is every VW engine with 12mm tty bolts and fiber gasket.
