The head studs are are class 10.9 Alloy steel,quenched and tempered. The threads are rolled on at the first stage of production for greater strength. The turning down and threading cannot be done as the studs are too tough. The studs that are too long I'll cut equal amounts off either end with a ang...

I've looked at this site: http://www.mecatechnic.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (vw split bus) The length of studs required are: 8 x222mm,4 x 191mm,4 x175mm. on this site there are VD85627 10MMX1.5X 193MM, VD85626 10MMX1.5X 177MM and VD85629 10MM X 1.5 X 218MM.

Thanks for the photos, I've managed to do number 2 cylinder using the same method, just number 4 left to do.

Thanks

The stock studs have been sent back and I've found a source for some 10mm VW studs the lengths I need.
Thanks

Ok! Thanks. The case holes have been drilled out to suit 10mm thread inserts at some time! Can the heads be drilled out to suit the 12mm thread or is that not possible?

I've a 1.9 dg petrol engine,how to you get number 4 cyld. piston pin in? I've removed the water pump and have made a conrod hanger.

I've obtained new studs but there's a problem? The new studs are 12mm x1.5 thread one end and 10mm x1.5 the other. The 10mm fits the engine case but the cylinder heads holes are 10.5mm dia. The dome nuts are 10mm x1.5 thread. Are the studs wrong or are the heads incorrect?

I've taken the heads of my t25 1.9dg engine and found the head studs were 10mm mild steel studding cut to size,the original studs are so expensive I thought I could use 10mm x 1.5 studding of grade 10.9 if available, does anyone know of a source?

Hi there! I'd like to fit an aftermarket temp. gauge to my dg1.9 hightop,the new temp. gauge has a different type of temp. sensor to the one on my engine, I've seen an Audi temp. gauge sensor which would fit but would the calibration be affected? Could I use the original wiring? I've wired up the te...

Also the round blue sensor male connector is missing again the wires are...
