The washers I'm talking about are the little round ribbed ones, that 
came under the heads of each CV joint bolt. Under those round washers 
came the elongated washers that spanned 2 bolts. VW eliminated the 
round washers at some point and said to replace the bolts with 
similar bolts that were 1 mm shorter. The long double-hole washers 
were retained.

I've never seen the replacement bolts, so I don't know if they had 
ribs under the heads or not. The only thing I know about this is what 
I've read in the Bentley.

I always just reuse the OE bolts and both types of washers.
