Thanks for that link! Pity I've already bought the bolts (at a rather higher price), but I've filed it for future use. I've also noted that they offer engine mounts for my C4 A6 2.5TDI for about half anyone else I've found. Still a big lump in the context of the car's value though.....
Returning to the A8, it turns out that the part numbers I quoted above are wrong. They are in fact the bolts and washers for the camber adjustment. which are shorter and have smaller diameter washers. Fortunately I noticed before engaging Mr Angry Grinder as TPS (or possibly VAG) were kind enough to miss-pick one of the bolts and accidentally supply one correct bolt, making it obvious something was wrong!
Correct numbers are:
Bolt 4D0 501 387 (just looses the A, no wonder everyone is confused!)
Washer WHT 001 974
Nut N906 350 01 (no change).
The arms (from ebay) haven't turned up yet so I've not developed a removal process yet. I reckon it will be much as suggested above though. Delightful prospect........ Not. Will let you know how I get on (with pics) when I get there.
