NIKH25 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 That doesn't look or sound good at all, looks like they haven't replaced the bolts as you said, you should take it back and get them to remedy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What size hammer do you need to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamestopdog Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 You can see the mount pushing on plastic timing belt cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah the bolts look like they defiantly broke. Bloody hell.... Looks like a really awkward tight space to get the bolts too. If it was my car, I would undo the 2 big top bolts, place the jack on the sump with a block of wood, and jack the engine up. Might gain excess to the broken bolts then.
