Among a bunch of more serious problems I had with my TIICO
before giving up at 17k was the one where I had to have the CAT welded
seven different times where it broke off, that was corrected by
having a trio of "L" brackets welded on it. We ended up removing
the AC compressor and re-bending the bracket Matthew correctly
refers to as "junk". It helped a little. This engine is seriously flawed.
I do remember a thread a year or so ago in which a lot of advice
was given which should now be in the archives. Basically the advice is what
Matthew said, go to the corresponding VW Golf brackets.
