The Haynes manual says get new ones - in reality do you need to? Are they stretch bolts? I know they are angle torqued - does that stretch them?

ANother one where is possible to not need new ones....they are angle torqued but again not to the point of yield.

Thanks!

Should have asked this as well - What about sump pan bolts?

No problem there!

Great - saved me a few bob - better get a new sump pan gasket though.

I'm not looking forward to this job - dropping the subframe and sump pan just so I can change the seal on the oil level sensor - still, it will give me an opportunity to clean the oil pickup.

Er.....you only need to drop the lower sump pan....this will allow you to remove the oil level sensor connector.

Also be aware that most sump pans use the oil cooler sealent and not the gasket (this ws about 97ish)

Easy mistake

Are the sump bolts and front suspension subframe mounting bolts reusuble on the 2.0 anyone?
