I bought mine used so was more focused on overall condition and main specification, trim level etc .
It definitely makes a big difference to the feeling the inside in that interior shade!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your advice, I would agree with your thoughts here, it seemed over the top to me too for these bolts. Unless I hear another opinion arguing against reusing the original bolts I will leave it as.

Hi everyone,
I've just had my ZF gearbox serviced on my BiTdi using a genuine ZF service kit which made a noticeable improvement to the gearbox.
My question is should I have changed the gearbox Crossmember bolts for new ones? They obviously weren't included in the ZF service kit and I'd have to get them from Audi.
My mechanic thinks they're one use stretch bolts. They've been put back on for now and I'm happy to replace them if everyone thinks it's it's worth doing.
Many thanks in advance
Dave
I have done Steve, already got a new drivers door seal ( mines got a tear in it) and new rubber windscreen side rubbers. Hopefully fitting them this weekend if I get some spare time.
Need to find a replacement black edition trim piece now as one of mine is corroding under the paint !
Thanks Steve
It's my first Audi so getting used to layout and handling etc.
I'm going to get a few things replaced to make perfect, mainly trim pieces and door seals first.
Being urged to get it mapped but will hold off for now😊
