How many bolts????
VW have told me 4, I've only got 2 in and there is 6 holes. I reckon there should be 6. Also I'm presuming that there should be a gasket, which mine seems to be missing.
:dontknow: These are the Allen key type bolts aren't they as I replaced the only two I have in with normal bolts when I relised they were missing but am going to get some from VW.
Let me know so I can get them on order.

Hope they got that gasket in stock and not another thing to put on order. NEver get the motor running, although seemed to be running alright without and with only 2 bolts.

going from left to right as you look in the engine L S L S L S
Also been to GSF and the gasket they tried to sell me looked wrong, so looks like that will have to go on order from VW as well.

Although do want the car for the weekend, so might just have to whack the manifold back without gasket and only 2 bolts again. Well it was running alright before anyway. :twisted:
It would help if they even knew what they were talking about, but I don't have any faith in my local VW, and the only thing that cheers me up is the chick on the reception and she weren't even there last week.

Seem to remember 3 long/3 short when i did mine. ETOS also indicates 3 short ones and 3 long ones. Gives the parts numbers as N 044 714 1 (long) and N 014 751 3 (short).
