Best to take the old ones to your nearest fastener supplier and get stainless steel replacements - they'll cost a fraction of what you'll pay the dealer and far better quality.

If you Elite an MV6, does that make it an MVee-leet?

All well and good, but if a breaker is breaking a V6, please let me know a price for all the crank pulley, Water pump pulley and PAS pulley bolts, with postage to Brakkers.

Cheers.

cheap, small stainless fasteners tend to be weaker and much more prone to various failures than a similar quality BZP steel fastener.


I no longer use stainless fasteners on cars.


3 M6x25 screws is about £0.20 of hardware.

I went for the stainless route on the above mentioned as they were in a 'high corrosion' area, with but only needed to withstand 'low torque' But fair comment you make, yes.  :)

Given they all have to come off every 40k Miles at least and never really cause a problem just use original bolts. Nothing wrong with used genuine ones as the OP requested. I’ll have a look in the garage :y
