CV Bolts
Posted: 13 May 2010, 18:44
I went to VW today (commecial one) to get CV bolts. Fed up with crappy allen key type and wanted torx ones so thought I'd get originals
Bearing in mind I need 24 of them, they had 7 in stock (2000 nationally) but they were a whopping £1.39 per bolt + VAT - over £30 for sure.
Thanked them for their time and got 24 german high tensile torx bolts online for £14....
Not sure what the moral is here, but maybe don't go to VW for bolts. I'll give the parts guy his due, he was helpful, courteous and familiar with them but not sure those 7 bolts will sell tomorrow or even next week. I also noticed GSF delivering parts there!
