ok so i started replacing the timing belt and everything went fine, easy, up to the engine mount. the engine mount came off easy, but the engine mount bracket is doing my head in. ive undone 2 of the bolts but there is one more that is a right PITA to get at. ive managed to get it undone abit but it took forever. There is no peep hole through the arch to see it aswel. im wondering, how high can i raise the engine so i can get at it without doing damage to the flex pipe etc. as soon as this bracket is off, the rest looks pretty straight forward. im tempted to even drill a large enough hole through the car so i can get at this bolt.
I have the cam and crank locked down at TDC btw. I didnt think id make it this far, but really wanna finish it without taking it to a garage.
Im doing this on an audi a3 1.9 tdi BXE engine.
