stib 0 Posted November 22, 2010 My engine is currently on a stand atm and heard storys about the crank bolt shearing off, heard the bolts of a DX Mk1 golf are a perfect replacment, i bought a new bolt and asked for a dx crank bolt and its the same as the one thats on there atm, is it too risky to use the crank bolt off a Dx gti engine ?

boost monkey 0 Posted November 22, 2010 I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but are you talking about the G60 engine? The topic isn't very clear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stib 0 Posted November 23, 2010 Yep G60, heard the bolts off a 1.8 gti mk1 golf are stronger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 23, 2010 The DX bolt is 6 sided and requires a washer, the original is a 12pt bolt with built in washer - the new standard PG/G60 bolts that VW sell are fine now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
