Waterpump
« on: June 05, 2023, 06:09:46 pm »
Hi folks,
Going to attempt to swap my leaking water pump at the weekend, I’m relatively confident I can carry out the job.
Problem I’m having is I can’t find any where to purchase the necessary stretch bolts , any recommendations?
Thanks in anticipation
Colin.

The water pump bolts aren't stretch bolts.

AKS tuning and Vag bolts on ebay sell an assortment of various ones but you can just call your local VW dealer and get anything you need and for cheaper half the time too.

Sorry folks,should have been more specific, it’s the crank pulley bolts x6 and engine mount to block I’m after.

Managed to find all the bolts, thanks for your help, not cheap but i quess that’s why specialists and main dealers charge the price they do .
