Lower rear engine mounts - KV6

Mick Brownhill · 18th November 2022, 16:52

Attempting to replace the mount today. Bolts will not play the game. There is a sensor in the way of top bolt that I think is part of the exhaust system. Any help appreciated.

Hi Mick
Experienced the same issue. A gentle use of a crowbar to ease the exhaust away gave me just enough room to get the bolt out and in
Good luck

Hi Mick.
As above you need to undo the top bolt, the push the exhaust to one side a little to get the bolt out completely.
