bolt

Hello all, Doing a wheel bearing change and have been supplied with a different axle bolt than normal. This one comes with a hex head and a washed instead of the standard twin hex head. The normal torque setting is 200nm + 180, however I’m unsure as to what it will be on this. Any help would be...

Hi, I would really need the Torque specs in "Nm" for the following bolts and stretch bolts: Number 21, 22 and 23 bolts (picture below). I think it's 70Nm + 180 degree Number 14 (dog bone 135Nm?) and also number 15 and 16 please. Thanks in advance!

how do you remove these? the tool in the kit doesn't fit?!?

Had my Leon FR cleaned at the local petrol station last week. Everything was good except for the caps to the wheel bolts. The effect of either the jet washer or whatever cleaning stuff they use has destroyed the silver colour and taken it mostly back to black plastic. I'm guessing these are...

Hello Peeps, I have a set of BBS CH and i am looking to bling up my wheels, because the only thing i can put on is frickin wheel nut caps that are nasty IMO i am thinking about doing a lug nut conversion.I searched around and there is nothing on the site about it. Does anyone have any...

Hi Guys When you fit 20mm hubcentric spacers to the rear of your ibiza i know you have to get longer wheel bolts What do you do about locking wheel bolts? Cheers Adrian

I was thinking of getting some new/spare coil packs because of the known issues on the 1.8T. From what I can find on searching the forum, there's a lot of people mentioning Hitachi bolt down ones, but I can't find any links to them on the site or on google. Do they still make them and if so...

Today saw the removal of the Mk3's wishbones prior to painting a poly-bushing... all was going well and typically, something had to go wrong... Cracked off the rear bolt, when to crack off the front bolt... steady, steady, SNAP! MotherF*cker [:@][:@][:@]:censored: Snapped just over half...

HHEELLPP!!! Just went to change wheel on the car and 2 of the 4 wheel bolt holes have completely lost their thread. Basically only 2 bolts securely holding the rear wheel on. The thread has gone completely as bolts simply slide in and out with no resistance. Now, is it a big job to sort this...

When changing my alloys today, i took the centre caps off the FR alloys to find a wheel bolt missing. How safe is it to drive around on only 4 of the 5 wheel bolts. Looks like the threads knackered hence why a bolt wasnt put back in. Looks like i need a new rear hub. Ive done 7,000 miles since...

Hi Guys, newbie here. Just wondering if anyone knows the torque settings for the front hub bolt on a Leon TDI 140? I have to remove the CV Boot tomorrow :censored: Thanks Richard.

I need a new wing for my drivers side.. My question is.. are they bolted straight on? is it a hard job to do myself with no experience? I had a look and it looks like it bolts straight off, and the new one will go straight no with no hassle? Is this the case? Many thanks in advance

I had a lump of ice on my windscreen this morning and accidently turned the wipers on when they were obstructed. This caused the bolt holding the passenger side blade on to shear clean in half. I found a picture in another thread: http://rossbyrne.googlepages.com/DSC00932.JPG The whole metal...

Been thinking about changing my seats from the current cupra interior. I realise the rears in whatever I get won't fit - maybe get an upholsterer to retrim the rears. So are there any other fronts that will fit straight in? What about an Audi TT?
