According to most it should be around 250-400lb-ft (give Andy a ring as you may need to check the end play and check that torque setting)
I would never re-use an old nut, get a scat one and never worry again, Duane says 'be sure the needle bearings inside the nut are lubricated when installing'
It's a bugger of a job to tighten... two men and a breaker bar/torque wrench!
Have fun!

I did mine on my engine that is going in the 356 I had my mate standing on the engine to hold it down.
Yep 100% need a new nut every time ........ A MUST
Harry said to use a large bar move your hands 2ft away from the nut might be 3 I can reread his mail and then tighten and you should be able to take your feet off the floor hence my mate standing on the engine.
Now as for the end play yes this has to be 100% correct or the expantion will not be enought and lead to a duff crankshaft. Loads of info out there get a DTI guage I have one here I can post to you if you get stuck.
Ask Andy
You will also need a VW flywheel clamp as well.
