Title: Removal of Engine Cover from a MK4 1.8 (Non Turbo) AGN
Post by: thebr on 27 November 2010, 10:08

Hi All,
  How do you get the engine cover off an AGN?  It has 4 bolts with a (LARGE) hexagonal shaped hole in the top, is there a special tool that you need?

Thanks

You wouldn't know the size needed would you? I'd need to buy one as i don't have that size kicking around.
