4kq front caliper bolts

[passat TS]

The normal Transpac places carry the boot kit which includes the correct
bolts w/ blue dry Loctite , the boots and the grease for the carriers. They
run for $7-8.

If your stealership doesn't require minimum $ per order, it's the cheapest
place to buy local, unless you have a real serious metric place around the
corner (like Maryland Metrics).

Either way I would replace with the correct bolt when possible. I personally
don't  like to save on brake hardware.

BTW, check the other side before you need to buy more bolts. ;)

Cheers,

Carlos.
