Name that bolt!

Andrew@FixMyVW · 06-21-2016, 04:03 PM

$25 store credit @ FixMyVW.com to the first person that identifies where these 2 bolts belongs on a 335D

Clues...work that has been done to the car:

Turbos changed
Oil pan removed
Oil pump changed
oil pickup changed
subframe lowered

Hold the turbos? I remember seeing those when my car went through the alphabet delete....

They are not part of the turbo manifold

I was thinking possibly part of the subframe or from inside the oil pan area but I can't find any reference to them on realoem.com

They look like the passenger mount bolts? That hold the mount?

The are too skinny and the mount bolts are installed. I just figured it out, phew. If anyone guesses the correct answer I will still award that prize.

subframe

Abax335 · 06-21-2016, 05:03 PM

can't see the picture 8/

temporaptor · 06-21-2016, 05:33 PM

Picture doesn't show x2

BB_cuda · 06-21-2016, 09:57 PM

They look like M8x120mm long ( or more). I've never dealt with those. Did you have to drop the rack to lower the subframe? Wondering if it has to do with the rack

No Pix x3

When Andrew started this thread, the picture was there. Now the photo of the bolts on the work bench isn't showing.

Strange, I can still see the picture. Anyways it is actually oil pan bolts that that aren't shown in RealOem. I guess they are good but not perfect.

Weird. The pic shows up on iPhone but not on pc. I looked through your DIYs that you are hosting for us last night for the oil pan removal. I wasn't necessarily going through it answer/win your contest but trying to learn how to do oil pan gasket if ever needed.

I gather you got the new oil pump and got your D running again?

EDIT: I came back to pc and pic still isn't there. I looked at phone again and it was still showing up. I did the little circle thread refresh thing AND the picture is now gone on the iPhone too. Something weird is a foot.

Remember how yozh and I mentioned this guy that had 2 M57 engines? I stumbled across the above thread AND THE GUY HAD A USED OIL PUMP. Thread is old so not sure it would have helped you. Perhaps he has other things that might help you.
