So, this is kind of a noob question, probably, but my A6 had an engine swap in February last year, after the previous owner somehow managed to blow up an N/A V6. Still a mystery to me how that might happen...
Anyway, the engine hoist hooks/eyelet thingies are still on the engine, and I have to replace the cam position sensors, since they're leaking oil. Thing is, I can't get to the upper passenger side sensor's bolt because of the hoist hook. It's on there with 2 big-a$$ bolts with some kind of star pattern heads. I haven't seen those before.
Question is, what are thoooooose, and also, can I just pull them off there once I find the right tool/bit that fits, or do those holes need plugging?
Thanks!
