Missing bolt.....

[Begbie]

Guys, seem to be missing a bolt here. It's just above the fuel rule. Picture below. Possibly an engine mount?

That would now seem likely.

How bad is it to drive without? Any idea on part number?

 

[Fraser.J.]

If it's what I think, they have 3 bolts standard, so 1 missing ain't a killer.
MarcR should be able to help you with a part nunber

Not sure if I'm in the correct place or not but have a look at these three pictures

Thanks for that, hole next to number 6, only one on there without a bolt going through it or not numbered weirdly.

Shall pop to Renault tomorrow.

Im guessing you are talking about picture number one here

My system does not show any bolts that go into that for some strange reason

its a Long m8 13mm head Bolt. id say 2,5 3 " long just get one from a hard ware shop, i suggest fitting one tho

 

[Begbie]

Yeah weird, definitely was one there though, as the metal underneath is 'shiny'.

Nice one Andy, appreciated. Shall have a look tomorrow, need to pop to Renault anyway as the fuel rail cover mounts sheared too!

goes through the inlet as well, chances are it's sheared off.

That's bad news I didn't want. The 'hole' seems empty, possible it's sheared off inside there then? Are these pretty deep?

it's a reasonably long bolt, it may have been left out though, you've got to take it out to get the manifold on and off, it's a bit fiddly to get back in so you never know if someone has been lazy

Ha, so could've been off for ages? I assume it's not going to fall apart with it out then?

as long as the others are all in it's not the end of the world but i would get it sorted sooner rather than later though
