You should not reuse TTY bolts, but if you do, never torque them to original specs.
They would be over-torqued and threads damaged.

popping noise front end, changed motor,tranny mounts. b5.5
hey guys, I just changed my motor, tranny mounts on my 04 VW Passat 4-motion v6 30V. Im pretty sure I got everything torqued to spec but im hearing a slight popping noise when I hit the brakes and on take off. not sure what it could be? any help would be appreciated. I have it on the lift at this time checking all the work I don't to make sure I got everything tight enough. anyone have the torque specs handy for the motor and tranny mounts? thanks

As I stated, the threads would be damaged if over-torqued, which they would be if tightened to original specs.I've re-used mine multiple times without thread damage. I just torque them to 90ft/lbs and they stay tight. Years ago, the dealer did not even stock the bolts, but somehow they were able to align cars every day. I would not re-use head bolts, but I think the subframe and suspension bolt can be re-used without issue for any rust-free area.
90ft/lbs is way below original torque.
