Title: MK2 crank bolt
Post by: A2TD on November 02, 2005, 10:49:55 am

I was wondering if people here reused them or put new ones in. I know the Bently says replace them, but I've heard of people re-using them. Thanks

The $5 bolt is WAY cheaper than the crankshaft, crank pulley and cylinder head that you will need if it does happen to come loose. I'd spend the money on the new bolt and follow the torquing procedure to the letter.
