Is this the same process for the 3.2 mk1 version m8?

[@andycharger]

Yes buddy. This is good for both 1.8T and 3.2! 👍

Do you have an answer i nosed my bumper into a hole and i god leak but dont know what it is

[@andycharger]

Radiator is right behind the bumper. Perhaps you have punctured it?

My 10mm dont fit

[@andycharger]

Definitely a 10. It’s why they all vanish from our toolboxes. Check they are not rounded off or rusted. Give them a squirt with WD or penetrating fluid to get that loose stuff off. I hope you get it sorted 👍
