DRive shaft bolts September 26, 2020, 10:02:55 PM Can I re-use the driveshaft bolts (@ 140k miles) , or do I need new ones. Can I use stainless, or are they high tensile? Thanks very much in advance.

Re: DRive shaft bolts Reply #2 – September 27, 2020, 07:31:06 PM I’ve always reused... but worth checking they’re still tight after a couple hundred miles (don’t ask me how I know)

Sounds a bad day. I snapped a driveshaft (in a Mk3 VR6) once at traffic lights. Thankfully all fixed under warranty that time (it was 6 weeks old!). I wonder if VW would make a similar goodwill gesture to my 33 year old 16v now ....
