new bolt is about 90p if i remember correctly... and the sleeve is very expensive, either 8 pounds or 13 pounds, cant remember which but it is well worth re using the sleeve if possible.
I just replaced all the bolts (not sleeves) on mine when i did my pads.

ye thanks for input , i nthink they will be ok for now but will definately need chaging soon. so the sleeves are loctited into the calliper is that wot ur saying if so how would i refit new or the old sleeve? as it is now iv just screwd them both in tight but i assume its just the threads on far side of sleeve that are catching.

are we talking front or back here... i have no idea about the back, but the front, the bolts bolt into the hub carrier and theres a sleave between the head of the bolt and the carrier (so the bolt slots thru the sleave) So the bolt and sleave are 2 seperate parts, the sleve you can re use and the bolt is about 90p as said, and can be bought from any VW or SEAT dealer. The sleeve slots into the rubber part of the caliper and the bolt then follows.
The bolt doesnt screw onto the sleeve, it merely slots thru it.
Cant think of any way to describe it other than that.
