This also involved welding a broken layer cake bolt for the engine ground back together.
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea. Looks like an afterthought to me.
Circa 2008 in Wolfsburg:
"Hey Kallheinz, wo schraubmer nu die Motormasse fest?"
"Äh.... scheiße! Hab ich vergessen. Moment. Wir spezifizieren einfach einen Tortenbolzen! Die von Bosch bauen für uns jeden Quatsch!"
"Genial Kallheinz, seh Dich nachher beim Fussballspiel!"
A replacement would've cost €9 and the annoyance of leaving a pile of parts out and having to restart the job.
Better to grab the welder.
Or I guess I could've just drilled a new hole in the mount and cut a thread, as Kallheinz should've done in the first place
