So I have a 2004 a4 with one of the gearboxes made of dog excrement, but this is about something else, under the car today I find a massive 18mm bolt in the engine tray????!!!?!!?!!?? I had a look around but can't seem to find where it belongs, obviously this development is very worrying, can anyone identify this bolt? It looks fairly clean and has a built in washer.

Hello, I'm looking for info on the correct parts to get for a auto to manual swap, as my CVT is being an Ba****** and the £130 oil and filter change has made it 100% no better, so instead of faffing around getting it fixed or replacing the auto box that will no doubt fail again, I'm thinking about the auto to manual route which I can get done for £400 + the cost of the parts. I need to know what manual gearbox will fit, the auto box is down as GJA on the factory sheet but it seems very difficult to track down info on this code. 2004 A4 Avant 1.9 130BHP 6 speed auto vin number: WAUZZZ8E14A241435 AVF engine Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
