Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

  • VW Stretch Bolt

    As I have said in another thread, I am in the process of a timing belt change in a Golf BKD engine. When I bought the stretch bolts there are 2 that have a special head. It's a combination of external hex. head & internal XZN/multispline/triple square. These 2 bolts secure an aluminium block to the end of the engine block. The frame mounted engine mount is then fixed to the top of this block. Because the screws are difficult to undo & then to tighten I think these special heads have been tried. The originals are hex. head with a flange.
    I have never come across these before.

    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
