G'day Ash,
[Most of this you probably already know, but here goes.. ]
There are 4 positions where the engine mates to the gearbox obviously, but only 3 of them have nuts, the other one is a bolt and a nut..
Looking from the rear of the car - in at the engine, the bolt on your left hand side at the top will be the one without the nut. This bolt is approx.
75mm long. The bolt screws into a thread on the case.
The Bolt that goes through the starter motor is approx. 120mm long. It has a nut around behind the fan shroud.
Sorry, i can't help too much with the bottom bolts, but hopefully someone else will be able to. The 2 bottom positions have the studs coming through
from the engine. There are 2 nuts that bolt on the underside of the gearbox.
Cheers,
Denver

Bottom bolts are studs only.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

If someone hasn't removed them that is 
Bolts are M10x1.5 pitch IIRC but I can't remember the length.
Starter bolt is longer and has a D shaped head as that's meant to stop it spinning when doing the nut up on the engine side. You can use a normal
long bolt but trying to get a socket or spanner to the gearbox side to stop the thing spinning can be tricky.
madness is in the eye of the beholder  |
