Title: cover on back of bell housing
Post by: PhilC on August 16, 2021, 06:56:28 AM
Hello all. I have just bolted by box and lump back together fr the re install on Friday (hoary), i have fitted the backing plate to the block with the three bolts around the crank seal housing , and also the lower plate that bolts onto the box itself with two bolts, this covers the opening to the back of the clutch at the bottom. On the back of the engine there is still a small section (near the drive flange) where i can see the back for the clutch so I assume I am missing a small cover - can anyone advise please? Phi

I'm fairly sure this topic has cropped up before. I belive there is a small cover.

No. 48, must be variations based on year... 7Zap (https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/golf/go/1992-110/1/103-3000/#48)

Without being able to check I'm nearly sure the 2 x bolts securing mine are noticibly different sizes (bagged up some where) but schematic suggests not?

That explains it - this is the earlier one with just one hole, seems to have a securing slot instead of the second bolt.
