Just a bit of hard-won education for the group.  It's not terribly 
difficult to strip out the threads on the passenger side "pendulum" 
mount on a A4 TDI, which you have to remove to do a timing belt.  As of 
tonight, I can say with relative certainty that a helicoil-style thread 
repair insert will not take the necessary torque.
It's going to be a long long walk to work tomorrow.
