Disaster averted

[BTJ]

close call mate...

but the real question is:

If your wife-to-be is questioning the repair of your VW, do you really need a fiancee at your wedding next month?

[Mr Messy]

Haha not really she loves the car, but you can't come between a bride and her budget!!!

She's into F1 and V8s, and owns a restored Mini clubman (not rego'd this year)

I have to say thanks to my boss too, who let me come in very late without trouble. The legend (not a member here) drives a clean Mk4 with rims and racks as well as a new Passat wagon TDI. He was very sympathetic.

Always love a happy ending!

Hrmm why does this sound so familiar ?!??

Thanks for the plug mate, always glad when stories have a happy ending.

Cheap solution in this case for you. Glad you didnt keep driving, new head would not have been fun if the belt snapped

You totally lucked out, that the tensioner and belt were not damaged and that the snapped bolt came out easily. Hope you bought that lottery ticket.
