What size bolts for Audi 016 Axles?

[Dean Lampe]

I need to order some bolts for the CV joints on an Audi 016 transaxle. Does anyone remember what size they need?

From memory they should be 8mm. The length of the bolts should be determined on your specific setup.

I used grade 10 socket head cap screws and painted them to prevent corrosion as I could not readily get them in zinc coated

Dean:

I believe you will need M10 x 1.5, 60 mm long. Same on both the tranny and wheel sides. You might get one to make sure, since my memory may be flawed. The look like they are about 3 or 4 mm too long when installed, but you will fine that they should clear the adjacent bolts on the tranny just fine.

I'll confirm that they are M10 x 1.5

Hi Dean
I built a CAV40 last year using an Audi trans, I recall I needed to use longer capscrews on one side as the diff is offset to one side and a spacer
was required to install the driveshafts as an eqaully matched pair, measure up several times, buy bolts once.

Bolt size depends on what application the trans came from. It will either be 8 or 10mm dia bolts.
