    Wow between dpd and heritage I had ordered 230pm yesterday next day delivery. I had the box and engine jacked into position to rotate the front engine mount by 10am dpd arrived at 10.10am by 1030 all fitted. Then did the driveshaft bolts tighten up. Also tightening gearbox to engine bolts. The front mount bracket only had one bolt at the top. Went for a drive now its all connected and the front end feels like it's had a strut brace fitted with the bracket mounting now connected properly to the front crossmember! Thanks so much guys for your Help!

    the lower front starter motor bolt missing on mine is what probably ended up cracking the case. There was a knock for a long time that i could not track down.. now i know what it probably was

    Yes there must be some serious rotational stresses on box and starter motor housing with bolts missing. There's a lot going on on the front of the engine with what it's got to do.

    interesting that VW changed the size of the bolt head on this part, it superceeded the original one
