Hi there,
My first post, it looks like a good forum! I have just bought an 05 plate Mk5 Gti, and need some help!
Last weekend, I opened the boot. The right hand strut ripped itself out of the body! The bolt with a ball on the end, onto which the strut fits litteraly ripped out! See this pic (sorry if it's a bit big, but wanted to show the detail):
I took it to a garage today. They said they couldn't get any access behind the panel, to secure the bolt with a nut. The didn't want to weld it, in case it damaged the paint (also it wouldn't look very neat).
I've searched around on the net, and I've found two other people with the same problem, but I can't seem to find any solutions.
Any thoughts?
If not, the next step I'll try a main dealer I guess.
Thanks,
Alex
