Hiya,

Im planning on installing a new downpipe and have seen that i need to undo the 3 centre propshaft bolts to allow extra room.

Im having some difficulty finding the exact bolts needed to replace the old ones.
Does anyone have a part number or link the exact bolts that are needed?

I have also seen multiple torque values. What is the correct value for these bolts?

Car - 2009 Audi S3 8P Quattro
Engine - CDLA

I have found these so far but wanted to double check before buying.
 
Tbh, they are reusable, but for completeness I understand the need to swap.

Torque value check elsawin or Erwin for your specific engine & box code as they do change even on same engines in same year at times.

Cheers guys,

That link worked wonders.
I had to wait for some other parts and new tools but got everything sorted now. Fitting the new downpipe was still a bit fiddly as its 90mm but well worth it.
I got the bolts replaced as they are stretch bolts plus the old ones had seen better days.

Audi recommended 60Nm of torque so that's what I have done. Its with stood 200 miles plus a dyno tune so far with no issues.

For anyone who is looking for the same answer I was here are the specs.
3x Bolts = 12 point head bolt - M10x45
Torque = 60Nm
Audi PN = N90846102
