bolts

Hello guys, :wave: I have recently discovered the garage had replaced my wiper bolt with a phillips screw. I have been looking around for a replacment bolt to match the other side, but i've had no luck what so ever. Has anybody had this issue and managed to find a bolt that is simular to the...

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!

hi what is the max width spacer i can use on standard wheel bolts. was hoping 5mm would be ok.

Just like it says, do I actually need to replace the head bolts when I change the head gasket. Haynes Book of Lies says yes but I thought that was only for stretched bolts in high performance engines. The 1.4 APQ is a poky little thing but high performance it ain't! :D Basically, the gasket...

i have just bought a mk4 ibiza cupra tdi i want to fit some forge 16mm spacers to the rear where can i get longer bolts?

has anyone on here had the typical VAG 1.8t problem with the manifold to turbo bolts loosening and blowing gaskets??? if so what different things have they tried to solve this problem?? also, how easy is it to remove the exhaust manifold as mine is cracked and required removal i've heard a...

It'll be for a Mark 2 Toledo, but I'd appreciate any Leon owners views as well. I'm getting closer and closer to getting the suspension changed, but the manual suggests is that most if not all the bolts need to be replaced. Obviously these bolts don't come with the suspension kit, so I was...

hi what are peoples opinions on wobble bolts, a friend has been told that he can use wobble bolts to fit his old wheels onto his new car, i've never heard of them and as such don't really trust them. my question is are they any good, how much cheeper are they than spacers, and what would...

I've just got some new alloys and have ordered a set of McGard locking bolts. Now on my old car I had a set of McGards plus anti-theft bolts all round that looked a bit like the pic below, but my new alloys were supplied with regular hex head bolts. Is there any benefit from replacing hex head...

Unfortunately being an owner of a 1.2 AZQ engine the sump has gotten in the way of being able to remove the wishbone bolt on the drivers side. I've come to the conclusion that I would prefer to lower the subframe from the body than remove the sump as I've just had the car freshly serviced by...

As per title,am fitting my S3 upper strut brace later,do i NEED to torque the bolts down or just make sure they're nice and tight,(don't have torque wrench but could get hold of one)reason i ask is some of the posts about it mention torquing and others don't.

Think this section will be ok. Anyway I picked up some 25mm aluminium wheel spacers, my mate just rang me and asked if I had aluminium bolts to go with them? As steel bolts are stronger than aluminium, and as such, would ruin the spacers, and potentially make the wheels fall off :rolleyes...

Posting this in the leon forum as you guys probably have a bit more experience.. :) I've just bought some 19's (Kahn RSV 8.5/et45/235/35/19) for my Altea sport but when I tried these with the standard bolts they only just fit on to the hub through the wheel. Is this the case when fitting...

hi, i brought some wishbones and antiroll bar links today and went to fit them and typical as nothing goes right when working on my own car, the bolts that go into the subframe which is the front one is solid and wont undo at all, cant even get bottles on it as the captive nut is hidden in the...

Just been onto a seat dealer about getting the clutch changed, they say it is an extra £60 because the driveshaft bolts are stretch bolts, haven't heard of this one before!

hi, ive recently changed my standard steel wheels on my ibiza 1.2s for some alloy wheels off the ibiza 1.2 sx. i have been told the origonal bolts cannot be used as they wont hold the wheels on properly and may come off!? is this true? do i have to buy a specific set of new wheel nuts for alloys...

Following on from another thread, I still havent got my '4' wheel alignment done yet... However I had the front left wishbone replaced and have since discovered that the garage has used what look like bog standard silver bolts to attatch the ball joint to wishbone (3 bolts), should these not...

Rev-linked engine bay WHINING, goes away on the throttle, comes back off the throttle Hi, I have a 2002 Seat Leon with 120k on the clock. Things generally fine until last night when I do a bit of reversing, then switch back to forward gears. Since then there is a high-pitched WHINE which...

Having a bit of trouble with my wheel lugs/bolts/nuts or whatever they are called. The coating is coming off and they are rusting. I have a set of Team Dynamics pro race on (<----see my pic) I'd like a set of red or black ones to replace them (all 20). Anyone know where I can get these...

im after some help if possible i was on my way home from work the other day and noticed my car sounded like a rally car coming off boost much louder than before and put my foot down and it boosted much more than before so i knew something was up so had a look at it and the bolts (the 6 allen...
