Just a quick one, regarding new nuts and bolts. Specifically for suspension and subframe. Essentially while I’ve got my caddy off the road I’m looking to give it a good tidy up underneath so looking to replace all the bolts that come off with new. While I’m replacing suspension/ perished bushes/ etc. (Think this is a must anyway as a lot are stretch bolts for the subframe etc?)
Anyway where is best place to get these and also is there an “exploded view” available of what’s required etc?
Cheers!

Re: Replacement Nuts and Bolts
You'll be best buy the bolts from VW, will run into quite a few quid but definitely worth doing it right.
You are correct, some of the bolts are a stretch spec.
There's a topic on the subframe with exploded view and part numbers for the bolts, all in the technical section of the forum.
