Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / November 2008Extra bolts after 2000 1.8T timing belt replace ?
I just replaced all the belts and water pump on 2000 Passat w/1.8T ATW engine. The only hitch is that there are two extra 5mm socket head bolts. I can't remember where they go. Nothing has fallen off yet, but the extra bolts bug me. TIA for helping remember where these (2) 5mm bolts belong. The only thing I can think of that uses those is the fan pulley. If I remember anything else, I'll answer again. Good luck. >I just replaced all the belts and water pump on 2000 Passat w/1.8T ATW >engine.

Could they be for the bumper behind the headlights or the radiator support? Carefully look here and retrace your steps in your mind http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/timingbelt/ http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167704 Sorry that those two sites are for the AEB engines but the pictures are nice and clear. ;-) also you could join the 2 passat groups on yahoo vwpassat passats AND congrats on doing it! How long did it take you?  Signaturelater, (One out of many daves) > The only thing I can think of that uses those is the fan pulley. > If I remember anything else, I'll answer again. Good luck.

Yeah, it just so happens one came in today (also a 2000) and this on only had the allen screws on the bumper. It's the newer ones that have the fan pulley that uses them. The 5mm screws thread upwards into the black plastic bumper support under the headlights that wraps around and clips into the fender. >I hate when that happens! lol > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>> >>> TIA for helping remember where these (2) 5mm bolts belong. Maybe I am mistaken LG, but it sounds like I would have to take the bumper support off again to put these back in, right? If so, I may want to wait until next time I put the front in the "service position" (as it is called). Nothing popped into mind as I retraced the job while following the pointers from Dave. BTW, it took about 10 or 11 hours altogether to replace everything. I found that the old water pump bearing was getting a little wobbly and the AC belt was pretty cracked. The timing belt itself didn't look too bad though. With all the new stuff in place, the engine runs much quieter now. > Yeah, it just so happens one came in today (also a 2000) and this on only > had the allen screws on the bumper.

Yes, you would have to remove the bumper cover. > Maybe I am mistaken LG, but it sounds like I would have to take the bumper > support off again to put these back in, right?
