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.
