Bolt Help Please
« on: 24 March 2012, 17:32 »
Hi everyone, having a bit of an issue with some bolts.  I think its the turbo elbow, the three bolts behind the engine, they keep working loose.  The garage tightened them last month and today i got the familiar blowing sound and found they have worked loose again.  They only have flat washers on them.  Does anyone have a diagram of this bit or know if there are meant to be spring washers there or something.  I willtry and attach a picture and thanks people.
