    Vanos solenoids bolt replacement

    So I took solenoids out to clean them and not one, but BOTH bolts fell and disappeared. Anybody know the thread size and length so I can make a home Depot run?
    RIP Jess or the idea of Jess or... what OT was.. or whatever...

    Check REALOEM.com for bolt info and you are probably better off at a Ace Hardware for metric bolt selection.

    They are 10 mm head bolts, which means 8 mm thread size (that's how bolts are measured) I believe it's 1.0 thread pitch. About 10 mm long maybe?
