Quick query - bolt size for 16v carriers
« on: 06 January 2010, 14:11 »
Hi all,

Very quick query - does anyone know the size of the 2 bolts that hold a 16v 256 carrier to the hub?

Cheers

i bought sum not long back from vw and they were very cheap for main dealer instead of finding replacements like me which is a head ache in itself

Unless you want to know for a different reason sorry mate

Cheers, rang the stealers earlier, 70p a bolt IIRC, or £2 for a 35mm one. They weren't sure on the size either. Annoyingly I don't have the carriers to hand to check.

£1.50 per bleed nipple cover (on backorder too), and £9 per slider pin :shocked: I'll be making do with what I have, just need those 2 bolts for each side.
