I reckon Tim had it right they will be straight out of the VAG parts bin.
What do the Bentley Boys forums say Chris ?
Are they as approachable as us lot ?

Oh it is out of the VW bin, but they charge Audi drivers more!

On a different note, they seem to have thread lock on them and when they describe it at oval, I think it means it is a prevailing torque thread. I assume they aren’t for holding the ceramic tiles to the space shuttle?

No they hold on a mild steel cover (£385!) They're not oval, they really don't need thread locking. There's nothing odd about the thread that I can see (M6 fit just fine)

Not even close. Apart from there being far fewer they seem to call into several distinct camps
  1. My man took it to the dealer
  2. I've taken it apart completely because I want my Bentley to actually be something else
  3. How dare you even think of putting non-OEM parts on
  4. MAF ;)

Very odd views all round.

Still, it's all good fun
