Some may remember I purchased a cheap A4 T Sport with the intention of fixing it and selling on for a nice profit. Unfortunately the cambelt failure that the AA man had diagnosed actually turned out to be a thrown rod. I ended up selling the car on to a mate of mine (who may have signed up on here).
He obtained a replacement AEB from a Passat and we set about stripping the old dead motor from the bay.
As it was out we fitted a new clutch kit and proceeded to fit the new engine. For the life of us we can't get the poxy thing back onto the box so we can bolt it. A couple of times we've been so close we could smell it but then just couldn't get the bolts in to secure it.
Anybody offer any advise that's done a swap, we're both pretty competent but are about ready to call it a day and just buy a Vauxhall.
