I'm in the middle of a timing belt swap on a 2012, and I realize that the kit didn't come with new bolts for the injector pump sprocket. As they are torque+angle, I assume they are single use stretch bolts? Can I buy just those 3 bolts from VW or somewhere. Cheap kit
Also, I wasn't going to change the stud for the tensioner even though the kit does include a new stud. Seemed unnecessary. But now I realize the nut that goes on it is also torque+angle, so I suppose I have to?
If I do change the stud, do you just hand tighten the stud with a pliers, and then torque+angle the tensioner nut during the tensioning phase?
Any advice appreciated. The last TDI I did the timing belt on was 5 years ogo.
