air filter bolts
« on: 22 September 2014, 17:56 »
I have a heat shield that is held in place by cable ties.

I think I threw my air box away along with the bolts.

Anybody know what size bolts they are so I can get some from somewhere or are they some kind of specific unique size and VW will want to charge me a million pounds to replace them?

They're a standard m6 bolt.  Stock length is 30mm.
