quick question about rear engine mount

Recommended Posts

I have purchased from the bay both rear and gearbox mounts for KR. I read somewhere that rear engine mount needs a new bold, which can't be used more than once....

 

 

Could anyone post the part number of this screw? and if there are any more un-reuseable parts...

 

 

thanks!

I've reused mine, twice. Never come loose or anything, If you're that worried put a bit of threadlock on them.

I have heard some of these are stretch bolts but no idea why they would do this, they're not mega torque or anything.

 

Edit: they just look like regular bolts on ETKA.

the subframe to mount bolts are:

N 904 458 01 hex head bolt M10x95

N 102 575 01 hex head bolt c/w shoulder M10x24

 

the ones from the engine bracket to the mount are:

N 019 504 2 hex head bolt c/w shoulder M8x45B (3 of, I think)

On MK4's the engine mount bolts are of a stretch nature so need to be replaced everytime... on the Corrado they can be re-used but as you said above, would you trust a 15 year old bolt thats been done up a few times and maybe with an airgun? - for the sake of a couple of quid I always replace stuff like this and also spray copper grease over the head after torquing up.
