    Camshaft cap nuts are another one to add to the list, and people always seem to recycle these, despite the correct torque being so important!
    I know some are stretch bolts, but I didnt think they all were..... I guess without knowing exactly its better to replace to be on the safe side.

    I have replaced them and reused them aswell... I replaced on my mk3 but re-used on old 1.5D mk1's because I'm pretty sure pre- 1980 they (VAG) didnt do any stretch bolts.
