I seem to be down a few of the screws on the steering column nacelle (plastic cover). I know there is supposed to be 5 screws and 2 self tappers. I am down 2 of the screws, the one being closest to the lower dash is one that I have no idea what size it is.

Any one know the size, or can take a photo for me, or have a spare laying around or wish to donate theirs ;)?

Edit: its a Tdi.

Mine are No. 10 x 32. The nuts are a pia. They are supposed to be an interference fit in the tunnels but work loose and fall out, or turn when tightening. Try Araldite.

Thanks mate. Yes know what you mean about those nut inserts :mad:.

The screw I am having trouble locating though screws into the steering column at the bottom of the nacelle, it is slightly smaller than the other screws.
