OT-Head bolts for 1.8t



The early 1.8Ts have a different head bolt.  The later ones have a
spline drive.  I was able to get a socked from the local NAPA store
that worked.  The replacement ones were the later spline drive (which
also required a special tool - I bought one from VW).

The one that blew a timing belt...(That's how I got it cheap) anyway so I get to pulling the head off and get it down to the head bolts and what the f...? I've pulled the heads off 16v but the bolts are different. I have a 6pt T-50 and T-55 and it seems to be in between???
