That’s just a locating dowel guys 🤣 the fourth bolt is hidden in the darkness.

heres a better picture of it and with the stretch belt successfully on might I add 🤣🤣



some people have said they managed to just squeeze it on but I couldn’t, I had to remove the second pulley on the PS pump then modify the tool I bought from machine mart to fit onto the pulley as the pulley is so small and shallow, and use it without the securing bolt, it took a couple of attempts but it eventually bit and went on, hardest part was trying to turn the PS pulley as there is no centre bolt to use.

drives like a champ now, gave it a good service, it was way overdue an oil change and the K&N filter was manky so threw that out and put a nice new paper one in, the oil will need changing again soon, I may even get the bore scope in the sump and check the oil pick up for sludge, none came out with the old stuff but it wasn’t far off, the engine is nice and quite with no signs of oil starvation so that’s good, mpg is healthy which is a good sign.

got a new wide band lambda in and a set of plugs, so it’s good to go.

really enjoying this mk4 mondy though, paired with this engine makes it a brilliant car, so many toys on it too, and so far everything has been quite easy to work on, a far cry from the VAG stuff I’m used too.
