Title: Cylinder head bolts
Post by: solarized on 31 May 2005, 18:51: Hi,
Anyone out there know where I can get the splined tool for removing my mk2 gti (8v) head bolts from ? I understand I need a '12 mm splined tool' , unless I've been incorrectly informed. Halfords etc don't have 'em, around my area, and one of their 'assistants' told me it's a specialist part.
Cheerz.

Even dared to ask an 'assistant' - the only one I could find, a young girl smokin' in the doorway - now I didn't expect much, but the sulky shrug and 'fcuk you' attitude was somethin' else! Good ta know ya can rely on Halfords for friendly advice!

I was in a hurry though so had to bite the bullet! Take one of your new headbolts with you next time and get someone to open the tool cabinet :)
