Make sure you replace the peened nuts with equivilent replacements (available from GSF), or they'll come loose again fairly soon.

Do you know a part number or another web site/shop that sells them as i cannot find them?
PS what are Peened nuts??

[herbster]

they are a locking nut, like a nyloc but with no nylon to melt, they kind of have a squashed top area where the nyloc would be, any good nut or bolt supplier could get these for you, go to vw, they'll only be pennies.

So that Halfords, B&Q and hombase out the question!!!!!!

GSF or VAG will do you fine for the nuts.  You should also have the specified washers under them P/N 011 558 11.  The nuts are P/N 900 850 01

Dremmels? ANGLE GRINDERS?

Spot weld a new nut to the top of the rounded nut and undo it

5 min job

1. Dont have welder (wish i did)
2. theres no room
3. The nut is in a crack about 4 inchs deep so could not get a welder in
Lol I regret taking it off now, got my driving test is 2 weeks and nothing to practise in!!!!! hence the need for it to be put on!! but i guess it will be all the sweeter when it is on!!

Hmmm

Had to be too simple... 

[herbster]

a set of irwins will do the nut and the allen screw no probs, money well spent!
