Victor Reinz 14-32276-01 Engine Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz 14-32276-01 is an engine cylinder head bolt set for late-model Volkswagen and Audi applications that use torque-to-yield head bolts. These steel head bolts are specified for cylinder head service where proper clamping force and head gasket sealing are critical.

Fits 2005-2013 Audi A4, 2006-2014 Volkswagen GTI, and other Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi TT applications listed below. If you are replacing head bolts during a cylinder head installation on a Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi A3, or Volkswagen Passat, this part number 14-32276-01 is the correct style of replacement for the listed engines.

Key Features

• Steel construction for engine cylinder head service
• Torque-to-yield replacement bolt set for late-model applications
• Length: 117 mm
• Thread diameter: 10 mm
• Combination head drive type
• Direct-fit coverage for select Audi and Volkswagen models

Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 14-32276-01 is built for engines that require new head bolts after cylinder head removal. Torque-to-yield bolts are engineered to stretch during tightening so they can maintain the clamping load needed for a secure head gasket seal. Because that stretch is permanent, reusing the original bolts can compromise sealing and fastener integrity. This set is used across a wide range of Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, Q5, TT, and TTS models, as well as Volkswagen Beetle, CC, Eos, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, and Golf R applications.

This part cross-references Elring 325.930 and MAHLE GS33502 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing stretched head bolts during cylinder head installation
• Restoring head gasket clamping force after head service
• Addressing coolant loss or combustion sealing issues tied to fastener reuse
• Supporting proper reassembly after head gasket replacement
• Correcting fastener wear on engines that specify torque-to-yield bolts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and model-year breakpoints before ordering, especially on 2013-2014 Audi and Volkswagen applications with date-specific fitment notes. Follow the factory tightening sequence and torque-angle procedure for the engine being serviced. Replace head bolts any time the cylinder head is removed on a TTY-equipped engine, and inspect the head and gasket surfaces before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz is a recognized name in engine sealing and gasket service parts. Part number 14-32276-01 is manufactured to meet the dimensional and material requirements listed for the application, including steel construction and the specified thread and length dimensions.
