I'm off to get some nuts and bolts. I discovered that there are no washers fitted to the big heavy duty bolts on the rear spring plates whereas the drawings show spring washers under the boltheads and flat washers under the nuts. Does anybody know what I need to get?
As you say, it's supposed to be one spring, and one flat washer per bolt. Think they are m14 on buses. (Best check though, my memory isn't the best in the world!)
The parts list has p/n 211501137 for the spring washer and N 0115341 for the plain washer. The bolt has a spring washer and the nut & bolt a spring and a plain washer. And while I have the page open – the damper has two N 0122323 spring washers at the top and one spring washer and a 043101129 plain washer at the bottom.
The spring washer is 14.5 x 25 and the plain is 15x28x2.5. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_singl.../511/subcategory/42000/part_id/3723574/lang/e
