oneohtwo 8 Posted May 16, 2014 According to the garage that were replacing the lower suspension arm bushes the captive nut for the bolt into the subframe has become detached, and so is now no use to anyone. I am therefore looking for a new subframe (with the captive nuts in place!). The garage hasn't been able to source one as of yet, and they don't seme to be available anywhere so I am currently a bit stuck! any help woul dbe much appreciated. Many thanks.

VAG-hag 0 Posted May 17, 2014 I got one that was powder coated last year. Its orange but it can't be seen when fitted. rear engine mount recess had compression coils pressed in in place as old mount had to be drilled out. £20 plus post n its yours Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oneohtwo 8 Posted May 17, 2014 Sent you a pm, but it hasn't appeared in my sent items so I don't know if it has or not. Either way, I was just wondering about the coils in the engine mount recess. Do they affect things much and can it be removed and the engine mount from my one be dropped in place if so? Do you have a picture at all? Many thanks!

VAG-hag 0 Posted May 17, 2014 Hi again Jonathan, im happy to send pics as required mate. The compression nuts are there to be screwed into in place of the captive nuts for the rear engine mount. captive nuts for wishbones are sound. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
