Valve Cover Bolts

Anybody know where I can purchase the Valve Cover Bolts online? They are one time use bolts and I'll be changing out my gaskets this weekend. The stealership is about 60 minutes away so if I can avoid driving down there that would be great

Valve cover bolts

I've reused mine & on other jobs many times with no issues. Plus I know of countless other who have done the same. I don't think they are a 1 time use stretch screw. They are not torqued down that tight

Just be very careful when you tighten them, do not over tighten them, they will break easily. You may be able to get the part number for the bolts from the thread that was just posted with all of the w203 part numbers.

valve cover bolts are not one time use. yes, they will break if overtightened so make sure to be careful! Brand new ones will break as well.

Great thank you. I tried to look up the bolts in the PDF part file but it was listed as "NA" (lol figures)

I believe they are supposed to be torqued down to 20nm.
