Hi everyone,

I’m new here, so thanks in advance for any help.

I have a 2016 Audi Q3 8U Quattro and recently had to remove one of the subframe bolts. From what I understand, these are stretch bolts and should be replaced once removed.

Audi have provided me with a list of the replacement bolt part numbers, but they have been unable to tell me which bolt goes in which location on the subframe.

I have attached:

  • A picture of the subframe, with the bolt locations labelled 1–11.
If anyone knows which bolt goes in each numbered location, I would really appreciate the help.

I believe the subframe is mirrored, so if one side is identified, the other side should be the same (unless I'm mistaken).

Many thanks for taking the time to look.

They can tell easily as etka shows you exactly which bolt goes in which hole, so thats bs, I use etka all the time, if you're not buying from them then they may not be so willing, if you are then goto another dealer or someone else in that parts desk who knows what they're talking about.

Oh right,
So I've managed to grab this off them, but I cannot read this diagram as it's not clear.
