Decided to tighten up the two subframe bolts (the ones that you access through the opening in the control arm). Tightened the first one a bit and then went to the second one, tightened...wait for it, cracked it. Awesome. Wow, what an idiot. ...thinking it may just be simplest to get my local exhaust guy to spot weld the engine cradle to the frame in such a way that ensures the next person can grind off the welds if need be. Drilling out that broken bolt would be a pig of a job. I can't be the only sucker who has done this...anyone? Oh...as with Baldmosher I too am getting ready to sell my V40. Just not suiting any of our needs anymore. __________________ 2003 V40 1.9T B4204T4, 197,000miles (sold but alive!), 2004 S60 2.5T, 160,000miles, 2010 V70 3.2, 125,000miles, 2002 V70XC 2.4, 175,000miles Click here for my x40 and V70 P3 repair guides
