rothers2901 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Theres nothing at the rear of the engine that would cause any problems regarding the allen key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMe Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's probably sat on top of the gearbox. As per above, it shouldn't be able to get in anywhere to cause any problems. Guess you're lucky you had already done up all the bolts or had two allen keys the same size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nice Job. I dropped a screwdriver down exactly the same place and never saw it again. Must be some sort of black hole down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one then! Yeah I didnt think there were any moving parts back there, always best to check though! I started the car up after re-assembling and it's all running fine! There was a squealing noise to start with coming from the plenum but I tightened one of the bolts a bit more and it stopped Must have just been air being sucked in... I didnt do the bolts too tight as I read that you mustnt. Let it idle for about half an hour then took her for a drive, all is well! Thanks to everyone for your help!
