Hi Guys,
I recently had a cam belt and water pump replaced on my car by a local AUDI/VW specialists. Today i was under the car replacing the Diverter Valve when i noticed that the engine and engine mount had a massive gap between them and the lower bolt was hanging out and the top two were obviously loose. I realise that if the bolts had droped out so would my engine.
Sorry about the poor pic.
I managed to get the lower bolt done back up but theres no way of getting to the top two without dropping the mount off and jacking up the engine.
Qustion 1, do you think the bolts might now be bent/weakend from the load they have been under?
Question 2, how shall i go about dealing with the company that did the work. i.e compensation, getting them to recheck everything?
I dont really want them to touch the car again.
Im pretty angry about it as my mrs has been driving it daily for the past 4 months with my 1 yr old daughter inside and i know that if it had gone wrong it would have caused a major accident.
Thanks for any help or advice you may have.
