Victor Reinz 14-32052-01 Engine Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz 14-32052-01 is an engine cylinder head bolt set for late-model applications that require torque-to-yield fasteners. These steel head bolts are specified for cylinder head service where proper clamping force and head gasket sealing are critical, including select Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat models.

Key Features

• Steel construction for cylinder head fastening applications
• Special 6-point bolt head size for proper tool engagement
• 11 mm thread diameter for the listed engine application
• 102 mm length for OE-style cylinder head installation
• Designed for engines that use torque-to-yield head bolts
• Victor Reinz part number 14-32052-01 for direct identification

Application Details

Torque-to-yield head bolts are engineered to stretch during tightening, which helps maintain consistent clamping load across the cylinder head and gasket surface. Because that stretch is permanent, reusing the original fasteners can compromise sealing and increase the risk of fastener failure during reassembly. Victor Reinz 14-32052-01 is intended for cylinder head service on 1997-2000 Audi A4, 1997-2000 Audi A4 Quattro, and 1998-2000 Volkswagen Passat engines that call for replacement head bolts.

This part cross-references Elring 104.930 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Head gasket sealing issues after cylinder head removal
• Loss of clamping force from reused torque-to-yield bolts
• Fastener stretch concerns during engine reassembly
• Improper cylinder head retention on service-repair jobs
• Fitment-specific replacement needs for Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace torque-to-yield head bolts whenever the cylinder head is removed and follow the engine manufacturer’s tightening sequence, angle procedure, and torque specifications. Verify thread diameter, length, and bolt head style before installation. For best results, inspect the cylinder head, block surface, and gasket condition during service on Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat applications.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz is a recognized name in engine sealing and gasket service parts, and this 14-32052-01 cylinder head bolt set is built to match the requirements of the listed OE-style applications.
