Title: top view of the vr gearbox in engine bay
Post by: sharki786 on 22 April 2014, 08:46
I need an image of the engine bay of a vr gearbox. Reason is as i have just cleaned the gearbox and noticed 3 bolts loose. These are on the top of the gear box. Just need to know what they are for.
thanks

What might be easier mate is if you post a picture of the bolts that are loose and we can tell you what they are :)

If not I can take a picture of the other halfs tonight
