Default Engine Block Bracket Bolt Missing

2004 coupe. Should there be a bolt in the lower hole in these pictures? Just below the black bolt on the black bracket? This is the passenger side just aft of the oil pan. Thanks in advance.

The bolt that appears to be missing is the bolt that holds the transmission oil cooler lines to the block on a A4 equipped C5. Yours appears to be a 6 speed thus empty hole.

Yes mine is a manual. Thanks for the quick response! I haven't been on the forum much the last few years (I always end up spending more money when I see everyone else's customization) but definitely a great group of knowledgeable people.
