Omg it never ends, checking around the engine bay i notice that the lug at the drivers side back of the engine that recieves the long bolt from the engine mount has snapped clean off!! Probably before i bought the car as someone has put a nut on the end of the bolt as a makeshift effort! I have looked into it (google) and see that a company in the usa called dieselgeek have managed to fabricate a bracket that repairs this problem: Cracked VW engine block repair bracket (http://www.dieselgeek.com/VW_cracked_engine_block_repair_bracket_s/1828.htm)

My question is wether anybody knows if i can purchase a similar bracket from the uk?

we had one break and called out the thread doctor, he supplied and fitted something which he called a "picasso ear". might be worth dropping him a line. info@threaddoctorservicesltd.co.uk
