golf gti
« on: 05 February 2011, 10:04 »
does anyone on here have any idea why the drive shaft bolts would keep snapping first off the driver side drive shaft snapped and punched a hole in the engine. i got a new engine and now a few days later the gear box side went snapping the bolts and punching a hole in the gear box this has to be the worst golf gti about ? :angry:
