OT-Head bolts for 1.8t

[sharpshooter33 at roadrunner.com (David Brown)]

Ok I ordered the newer one t10070 I believe. But now I'm thinking it won't 
work on my older 1.8T  What tool did you get at NAPA. I tried calling the 
local NAPA today and they had no clue what I was talking about.   MAC tool 
is going to get me a set of Ribe's which he says is the square 6pt type they 
are using now, but what do I do about the ones that are in there now.  It 
looks like a 6pt, but a T50 is too small and a T55 is too large.

I would pull my hair out if I had any.

Thanks
David

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).
