Title: Caliper Bolts - Part Number Needed
Post by: MK4D4VE on 06 July 2011, 20:36: Hi all

Can anyone advise of the rear caliper bolt part number on a VR6? The 8mm hex bolts that seize and are the biggest pig ever please :smiley:

Oh, and apart from dealer does anyone know where they can be bought?

Thanks

David

Title: Re: Caliper Bolts - Part Number Needed
Post by: MK4D4VE on 07 July 2011, 21:19: Fingers crossed. I will also give VW a call in the morning to see if they can get any.

Title: Re: Caliper Bolts - Part Number Needed
Post by: cняis on 08 July 2011, 13:48: probably the above.

Lots of heat didnt help my seized bolts. We rounded the inner hex off then welded a nut onto the original head so we could get a spanner on it :lipsrsealed:
