Title: Mk6 tailgate lock bolts
Post by: Beavis64 on 31 May 2020, 21:05

Hi folks need your help/info.
My tailgate lock stopped working, so got a replacement part but cannot get the 2 tailgate lock bolts out whatever I’ve tried. Have tried the correct torx socket but no joy.
So I’m going to cut them off with a grinder, but can’t find out the correct sizes of the bolts anywhere.
Anyone know the correct ones to get or vw part number?
Any help much apppreciated.

The bolts will be thread locked in. There was issues with them working loose and causing rattles
 There is a TPS about it. There was a production line fix which im guessing was strong theadlock.
If you do a search online for etka parts disk in google im sure there use to be an online version you can use to find parts. It will specify in the description on etka what the bolt size is. Or just goto a VW dealer and pay a few quid for oem bolts.
