I just used some from Screwfix.  Stainless Steel in a bag of about 25 IIRC and very cheap.

yeah i thought about getting some nice stainless ones from a place nearby that does fixings / fasteners but would be ideal if i can get the correct ones from audi or tps.

You won't be dissapointed with the Screwfix ones and I think the OEM will only be mild steel.

as Stu says, nip down to your local fastener place/screwfix and but some stainless allen screws, looks far more professional too.  Don't forget the stainless washers too!

Get nine M6x16 steel bolts from any hardware store and you'll be good...   :smiley:

thanks stu, i got some screws from vw in the end but there is def a problem with ETKA as it gives out the number for those screws on an audi s3 as torx 30 self tapers, which is bad considering the intercooler comes with m6 threads!
