While replacing the transmission this weekend the driver side front control arm mount threads stripped out. I threaded the bolt a few turns by hand then started to tighten down but it let go with nowhere near the 90+ ft/lb of torque mentioned in the manual. I was planning to remove the bolt to find the appropriate size helicoil. I think it is a m11x1.5.
Is hope the helicoil tap is long enough so I don't have to resort to some other method of thread repair. Any similar experiences out there? _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list
