1.8t head bolts. renew or re use?
« on: 16 January 2011, 12:34 »
doing head gasket, removed the bolts and found them to be 8mm allen bolts instead of the TORX type bits that are suppost to come with it (correct if im wrong) its a 150 aum engine.

can u re use these bolts or will they have stretched, also anyone know how much a bolt kit is
thanks

Don't re-use them dude, one of those better safe than sorry moments I think  :wink:

£4 each from Euro, look like torx bolts in their advert for an AUM.

Euro part number 300441240

VW part number 06A103385A

Always renew, I believe they are stretch bolts
