Hello everyone,
I have a Polo 6N2 with an AHW engine. The timing belt snapped and being an interference engine means that I have to repair or replace it. No worries, I bought the car in its current condition so that I could learn while fixing it.
My friend was kind enough to buy a second-hand engine for my car and I would like to change all the important bits on it before putting it on the car.
The issue which I am having is that nobody seems to know or list (even on internet) the sizes of the bolts for the gearbox bellhousing to engine block. I have a Haynes manual for the car, and all I've been able to work out is that there are M7, M8 and M12 bolts; however, there are no specifications on these bolts. I need these bolts to put the replacement engine on the engine mount, so that I can free up the engine hoist and remove the old, blown engine.
Are there any members who might know what the specs are, so that I can buy these bolts? Volkswagen want $60 for the set and to be honest I think I can get those from a different type of business and pay around half without the two-week waiting period.
Thanks in advance for your help.
