ok, etka is working on my xp machine now - thanks for the advice, i have all the right bolts, but one last question. What is the difference between the 1.8l 16v and 2.0l 16v upper section of the mount (the small piece that bolts to the block from the front and side)? I didn't get the 1.8l 16v piece because it already existed on my block. The only problem is that there is no hole for the long bolt to pass through from the timing belt side. Can I just remove the mount and drill the appropriate size hole or do I need the 1.8l upper mount?
