Bolt types sizes for rear egr pipe?

[Shadrack]

Hi Guys
Could somebody give my a heads up on the bolt sizes or types that secure the rear egr pipe.
I have a 2016 t6 Cali 204.
I will be picking up a replacement pipe(04L131521BH) with bolts and gaskets etc from my local dealer, I am not sure if I have correct size of spline sockets to hand.
Any heads up on changing this awkward bit will be gratefully received.

Thanks

Original bolt sizes are M10, they may be m8 if its had a replacement fitted previously though..

Hi Phil,
Just picked up the pipe with gaskets, new bolts etc. (£179)
The new bolts are 2 of M10 and 2 of M8 spline.
Thank you for heads up.
It does look to be a bit of an awkward bugger to replace but not as awkward as £600 as dealer had quoted.
Thanks again.

Yeah, the m10 go on the exhaust manifold side, and the m8 ones are for the head end of the pipe.

It's a 20 minute job, but you'll need the long reach spline bits for the engine side bolts.

It’s a 20 minute job depending on what spec engine / gearbox / aux heater you have.

Fair. 20 min job on a 2017 204 manual with no aux heater.

204 dsg with an aux heater is a test on your patience.
