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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 2 Litre Pressure Plate Stretch Bolts

    Getting conflicting information about the requirement to replace the bolts between the pressure plate & the crankshaft.......

    Some say they are stretch bolts & should be replaced every time.......some say they do not need replacing......

    so which is it?

    And what about the pressure plate to flywheel bolts? from what I can determine they are Ok and don't need to be replaced.


    Thanks for your help.

    Every clutch kit i have bought, (i've only bought two) has come with replacement bolts for everything. In your case, if you're sourcing everything separately i'd just get new bolts. At least if there are problems after the install you know it won't be because of loose bolts. Just my 2c

      Thought they were replacement, I did mine anyway.
      Cheap enough just to do it for piece of mind

        where'd ya get em?

        Tooleys, where I'm probably getting the rest of the bits from, don't sell them as they say they don't need to be done.

        Any leads would be appreciated.

            ECS for me as well
            Tooleys is pretty good for most service parts, but stuff like bolts I've found the stealership is the best option locally.

              Thanks Gents, I'll try the nearest VW Dealer first, as shipping from ECS is $50 which I may be able to wear if I had reason or $$$ to order a few other bits from them, but that's not on the cards at the moment.

              Thanks again for your help.
