This is a sticky post to list any hardware size and location used on any VW model. Feel free to post and we will update this first post with the overall information.

Fatchick/Bay bus wheel lug nuts: 14 x 1.5.

Snapon has a rethreader (like a die but cheaper) for under $3, including shipping. Errant hammer blows and a resultant inability to put lug nuts on are now a thing of the past.

M8x1.25 various lengths used all over the car. This is the most common bolt size.

6mm x1.00 = drain plate studs and engine tin screws.
14mm x 1.25 = spark plugs.
10mm x 1.5 = early head studs
8mm x 1.25 = late head studs

Glenn?? What is the size of the point hold down screw. I get a lot of distributors that have the wrong screw in them?

good gauge?
