Bolt size ? Drive shafts flange bolts

2002 golf manual

Does anyone have the size available for the bolts connecting the half shafts to the tranny's ...? I reused the mine during the engine swap and upon inspection @1000 miles I found a couple loose.

I want to order some metric cap bolts but not sure of size and length.

This time some non hardening lock tight.

Thanks guys

Give your local VW store a call and they will have the proper bolts for the application. I always use red loctite for this application. There is no loctite that actually turns hard. The red loctite is used when you want bolts like this to stay in. Use the blue if you want them to come out.
