When I had my 01S in for it's 60k service, the dealer informed me that the intermediate shaft bolt was broken. I hadn't noticed any issues when driving the car. They said they can replace the shaft and it should be fine.
Just wondering if replacing the shaft will prevent the need for engine replacement or will the engine eventually need replacement?
How long could the car be driven with the bolt broken before it causes damage to the engine?
