Brake disc backing plate bolt size

Post by Doug_RS6 » Sun Apr 25, 2021 5:15 pm

Can anyone tell me the size (length and thread) of the bolts which secure the brake disc back plates? No longer available from audi apparently and I'd like to have new ones ready for fitting the phaeton mod.

Parts should be available for at least 10 years after a model is dropped - the same part is used on some VW EOS and Golf models (and the TT and Cayenne as well I think) up to 2016.
Anyway, it's a Torx socket screw M6x12mm.

According to VW the part is discontinued. Could maybe get from Audi but was going to try and get stainless ones.
