Plenum Bolts? Important?

[Danny133]

Was taking my plenum off to paint but im a tard and didnt get very far.

Putting bolts back in and dropped one somewhere .. can i find it? Pft can i f**k!

How important is the 1 missing one if i replace it ASAP and leave the lost one?

When you say dropped it somewhere? As in dropped it near the engine or say on the driveway?
I wouldn't want a bolt floating around if i didn't know where it had gone roughly

 

[Danny133]

it dropped and i heard it hitting metal and then i heard it hit plastic.

SO i assume it hit right at the bottom and landed on something down there btu like f**k can i find it!

Defo not in the engine but i dropped it down in front of it somewhere near radiator

 

[James105]

Sounds like its sat on an undertray then. As to the importance im not familiar with the twingo engine so i will leave that to someone in the know a bit more

 

[Danny133]

its a clio engine in the twingo so no different

K4M 1.6

i think it is on an undertray yeah so it wont do any damage rolling around down there will it?

im just one bolt missing n my plenum now

 

[James105]

Personally i would drop the undertray and see if you can find it. It will probably work out easier then having to order up a bolt and get one.

 

[Danny133]

tried doing that a little bit but couldnt find the fucker!

never took it clean off but had a gander!

supposed to have a mate come round later and fit my front springs so if he turns up ill see if he can help me

 

[Dave..]

Just take the undertray off? Easiest job in the world on a clio, I assume it's the same on a twingo, I.e four bolts in the subframe.

 

[Danny133]

yeah only about 8 bolts .. not hard like .. took alf of em off and bent it upwards but will be on stands later so when it is ill rip if off and have a gander!

found it when lowering
