Driveshaft to transmission bolt identification

Featured Replies

Hey, I need to change the right hand side driveshaft in my 2006 Octavia mk2 DSG BKD. I know there are several types of driveshafts/CV axles used on these models and as far as I can tell mine is

 

"CV outer joint, tripod inner joint housing bolted to transmission drive flange" as Haynes puts it.

 

Here's what it looks like:

I know the bolts are single use and I need new ones, unfortunately my new driveshaft came with a new hub bolt but not the six gearbox flange bolts so I need to buy replacements.

I've measured them and they're M8 and around 33mm total length. I've now spent hours searching and still I cannot figure out what the correct VW part number is.

According to this parts diagram it would be N90991002 but that can't be right because it's an M10, not an M8. I've been able to find some M8's but then they're too long, 50mm for instance.

 

Can anyone help me figure out what part number these actually are? Thanks

Contact vag bolts on eBay, he'll have the M10 & M8. You can also put your VIN in Skoda7zap or LLLparts to find your part numbers. They aren't the most user friendly sites as they're free.

I've done the job now and I can confirm they are indeed N90991002, I measured them wrong. And yep Skoda7zap lists them correctly as well, thanks for that tip.
