Has anyone changed the rubber part of the front engine mount on the V6 2.5 tdi? Can it be done in situ (can't see how I can get to the top allen bolt) or is it a bumper off job?
While I'm there, the headlamp washers don't do anything. Do they have a separate pump motor and if so where is it? Is this another bumper off job?
And finally, went to fit the inline thermostat from a Renault to the top rad hose where it meets the hoses from the expansion tank, just behind the intercooler hose and anti flutter valve. I didn't remove the hose as it looks like the thermostat is too big. Has anyone fitted one here or do they put it elsewhere? For those that don;t know, it's a proven mod on many cars where the factory thermostat is an **** to get to and is failed open. I'll get a proper thermo when the belts are due but that's not for a while...
