Can I re-use the driveshaft bolts (@ 140k miles) , or do I need new ones. Can I use stainless, or are they high tensile? Thanks very much in advance.
I've reused mine previously, doesn't mean that's correct though.
I’ve always reused... but worth checking they’re still tight after a couple hundred miles (don’t ask me how I know)

Oh dear. Sounds a bad day.
I snapped a driveshaft (in a Mk3 VR6) once at traffic lights. Thankfully all fixed under warranty that time (it was 6 weeks old!).
I wonder if VW would make a similar goodwill gesture to my 33 year old 16v now ....
No harm done, my check caught it. But if I hadn’t had a look after a few drives I imagine I could have been in trouble
