The change interval appears often on this site. The bothersome part is that VAG in the United Kingdom suggests replacing the belts at half the mileage and time specified in other regions. Last week, I had my 2018 Golf 1.4 non-ACT oil changed at my local independent. I reasoned that even if I left it for another couple of years, it would just be a one-time work in my ownership. Also, if I trade it in a couple of years with a missing belt change, the deal may lose value. My indie also suggested updating the auxiliary belt (sometimes known as the fan belt), while I believe the official suggestion is seven years. I finished it anyhow.

I'm pretty sure that the nuts should be 10mm. I'm not sure if the mono structure, but I think the bolt only goes through the Sierra beam. Most likely, both ends of the bolt need washers. Can you post some pictures?

The nuts should be tight because they squeeze a metal tube inside the rubber bush. Pull them as tight as you can and check to see if they still move. If they're not tight, the holes in the back beam may have gotten bigger. The simplest way to fix this would be to weld a thick screw over the hole in the beam.

Do the nuts and bolts really wiggle? Most likely, the suspension arm has worn bushes.

Or, you could purchase my SL60.

The simplest method is to remove the engine from the top, which requires an engine hoist, as Johnnyroper mentioned. The two top bell housing fasteners are the most difficult to reach. However, I removed mine using a Torx 14 wrench from the top and the remainder from underneath the vehicle. A small bolt near the top holds the bell housing shield in place; if you don't undo the bolt, you can easily rip the shield apart. Oh, and remove the canopy as well. Additionally, do not neglect the braided ground wire that connects the ignition to the chassis; if you do, there will be wailing.

It took around 6 hours for a friend and I to swap out the engine in my BMW e90. However, our understanding was limited, so maybe a more seasoned business might do the task more quickly. Consider the hourly rates for a workday of around six hours. On my M47, we didn't need to disconnect the air conditioning or the power steering cables, so the only fluids I had to replace were the oil and the coolant.

As far as I'm aware, not all automobiles can just use the newest Dot fluid. I have been instructed that my Rover P6 must utilise Dot 3 rather than Dot 4. anything to do with producing problems with chemical reactions involving rubber or seals. can't quite remember, but don't use the most recent. dot 4 in my 45-year-old antique vehicle. It would be wonderful to know if anything has changed.

It simply felt like the appropriate item to mention in the post and/or title, as you say, and I wasn't even thinking about the "Location" on the lhs.

I'm getting tired of stating the obvious.
