Tensioner, belt, mount, bracket and other hardware are separate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching thread diameter alone does not establish compatibility; the length, head geometry and specified location must match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon reasons to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace a missing bolt or one with damaged threads, a rounded head, visible deformation or corrosion that has compromised its condition. Renew any fastener that the factory procedure requires replacing after removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a belt-tensioner repair, inspect the tensioner, pulley, belt and mounting surfaces together. Belt noise or improper tracking can come from worn bearings, a defective tensioner or incorrect alignment. A new mounting bolt does not correct those conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a pendulum-mount repair, inspect the mount and its attachment points. Excessive drivetrain movement can result from deteriorated mount material or a damaged bracket. Replacing the bolt alone is not a remedy for a worn mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the fasteners organized by mounting position during disassembly. Similar-looking M8 bolts can have different lengths and specifications. An incorrect replacement can create poor engagement or interfere with the receiving component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the factory procedure for the exact engine, transmission and assembly. For belt work, release tension using the prescribed method and confirm belt routing. For mount work, support the drivetrain as directed before removing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect mating threads and surfaces, align the component and start the bolt by hand. Follow the required tightening specification and sequence for that particular mounting point. Do not transfer a belt-tensioner torque value to a pendulum-mount attachment or infer a torque from the M8 diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse thread treatments and companion replacement hardware only when the applicable repair instructions call for them. Check the required number of bolts for the actual job; this listing supplies one bolt rather than a complete hardware kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter belt service, verify component seating, belt routing and tracking. After mount service, verify mounting alignment, secure attachment and drivetrain clearance. Continue diagnosis if noise or excess movement remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel years\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChassis and transmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication restrictions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen R32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2L VR6 gasoline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMk4, 4Motion; 6-speed manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePendulum-mount hardware; confirm original subframe attachment position and required bolt count.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen R32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2L VR6 gasoline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMk4, 4Motion; 6-speed manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccessory-belt tensioner hardware; match the original mounting position.
