VwT5 Torque settings

I’m looking for the torque settings for the, upper and lower, rear shock absorber bolts.

According to Haynes, you must use new nuts and bolts, and the upper bolt is Stage 1: 80Nm, Stage 2: tighten a further 90 degrees, while the lower bolt is Stage 1: 120Nm, Stage 2: tighten a further 180 degrees.

I can't say that I can be certain about the accuracy, as I've found a couple of errors elsewhere in that manual.
