Is it worth me replacing the subframe bolts with these?

They are cheaper from VW mate by about £5. See Mandy's thread for part no's :happy2:

....But aren't these ECS bolts a different spec and much better than VW OEM's?
They look like the ones we just bought in a Group Buy here.

I may have missed a thread or two Robin but I was under the impression that the two were the same thing (with a difference in price)?? I'm sure Mandy and a few others just bought the OEM ones which cured the subframe movement & noise.
Just had a look at the group buy, they are purchased from TPS which I believe means they are OEM parts (TPS only seem to sell genuine parts). I may be wrong though :grin:

.
My understanding is that the bolts and spacers we recently bought in the Group Buy are different from the OEM ones and are high tensile non-stretch.

They are OEM Robin and the same you would buy from VW etc. :happy2:

....Really? Are they a relatively new version/revision by VW?
How do you explain that these are non-stretch and that earlier ones were stretch bolts? [so I'm told].
vRSAlex:
They are an oem upgrade. The bolt is used on many vag cars from factory. I'm sure its the same bolt that's been fitted to the a4's/passats etc for years.
I will check the strength rating of the bolt compared to the one it replaces.
