Club 80-90 Forums

So one the studs that hold the rocker on has stripped and I can't for the life of me find a part number or replacement part. (it's a jx with a Cork gasket) Can I just use any m6 threaded bar?

Also I assume it will have damaged the thread on the engine itself can I just use use a tap set to fix it or is that not a good idea?

Knew something was off when the stud came out instead of the bolt coming off!

partnr is 026 103 400 A
M6x25/M6x14
the shoulder is needed to align and avoid crushing the cork gasket too much
it was used on almost all '80s VW/Audi engines

you may get over by cleaning the thread with a die but better to replace

Thanks so much! Can I ask where you found the part number? I looked through quite a lot of manuals and diagrams but none listed them

I usually check the partnrs here:
