wishbones on a 1.4

[Dan_GTi8v]

How do you get the pivot bolt out of the wishbone on the 1.4 drivers side? Theres only an inch gap if that between the bolt and the sump, is it a sump off job? seems a bit extreme just to change the wishbones the others all all so easy!

cheers

All should come out.

Thats what I thought, theres no mention of it in the haynes but theres definitely no way its coming out with the sump where it is, not sure whats going on

Got a picture?  Id check on mine, but 1.8T is there now so different.

[Dan_GTi8v]

no pics as it isn't mine, 1.8t in mine also

Its a mates car been round his all day helping but it was just one problem after another, someone who worked on the car before him has done a number on pretty much every bolt we needed to undo, either rounded off or snapped. The only thing that wasn't knackered was the wishbone bolts but we cant get them off because of the sump, which we cant get off as one bolt snapped and one is rounded 

managed to cut out one of the struts though 

If I go round again in the next couple of days I'll get a pic

Sounds a nightmate.  New bolts!!!

This a mk3?  Im getting confused with a mk4!!!  oops

[Dan_GTi8v]

Doh, get back to the mk4 section!

No chance the engine has dropped on it mounts

How would I know if that had happened? all looked ok but wasn't sure what I was looking for tbh I've not worked on a 1.4 before
