screw sizing?

Post by LeeT96 »

I don't suppose anyone knows the size of the Torx screws that are used to hold down the headlights? One of mine is extremely rounded off and needs to be replaced!

I assume @ciclo will be the man to help! He knows more about Polos than VW!

Maybe a sweeping statement, but when dealing with VAG products, take care to make sure the thread pitch of the screws you buy at a hardware store are the same as VAG use, to assume that an M6 is an M6 from anywhere would be a silly assumption - there will be at least 2-off versions of most if not all Metric fixings. This I know from past experience!
