Title: Subframe bolts & spacer mod
Post by: Black9 on May 24, 2012, 12:44:15 am

Don't think the group buy on the above is happening anymore, so can someone pls give me the right size etc bolt and spacer to ask for at a local parts supplier, maybe someone like eurocarparts may have it?

is this a problem with other PQ35 cars? because i've only ever heard mention of it on the Mk5, but never on the A3?
