Sorry to be a pain, but WRONG and WRONG. I am trying to clean up this thread so that we get the facts straight.
None of the BHWs have M14s. They are all M16 according to ETKA.
The very early B5 passat's (1999/2000) with gas engine had the M14 bolts. From 2001.5 onwards they were all M16.
So, for BHWs (2004/5), you need 2x 4B0407643A - M16 x 1.5 x 72mm
And you need to torque them to 140 ft lbs (190Nm) + 180 deg (1/2 turn)
