The bolts right next to the gearbox where a pain in the arse.  Before any of you point out the removable plate, it couldn't be done on my engine!

Later MK3s have allen/star bolts, might be an idea to get some if you ever need to do the job again :)

Cheers man, i have no plans to take the sump off again in the near future....we did have to force the two bolts in . . . .they may have slightly crossed threaded them, got them to bite though which is all good :shocked:
