^ If the engine support adapter 3147 can not be inserted far enough into the hole on transmission bell housing due to a change in wire routing, use a long bolt M10 and additional hook 10-222 A/2 in place of engine support adapter.
Vehicles with automatic transmission 01V:
^ Position 10-222A engine support bridge on bolted flanges of fenders behind gas-filled strut. Spindle is at front.
^ Hook 3147 engine support adapter into middle bolt hole in transmission housing.
^ Connect engine support adapter 3147 using engine support bridge 10-222 A.
Note: Illustration is shown with engine removed.
All:
^ Hook in 2024A engine sling at engine and at VAS6100 or 1202A workshop crane as depicted in illustration.
Note: To properly balance assembly, mounting hooks must be inserted in rails as shown in illustration.
WARNING: Take-up hooks and pins at engine sling must be secured using securing pins (arrows) as shown in illustration.
^ Remove final mounting bolt.
Note: Verify that all hoses and lines between engine and body have been disconnected.
^ Using VAS6100 or VAG1202A workshop crane, lift engine far enough until the threaded bolts of the engine mount are free.
^ Turn 10-222A engine support bridge shaft.
Note: Make sure no lines are damaged at bulkhead.
Vehicles with automatic transmission 01V:
^ Press transmission off engine, while pressing torque converter off of drive plate.
All:
^ Pull engine off of transmission and lift it out of engine compartment toward the front.
Vehicles with automatic transmission 01V:
^ If necessary, secure torque converter in transmission from falling out using wire.
Installing
Installation is reverse of removal:
Note:
^ During installation, all cable ties must be reinstalled at the same locations.
^ Heat boots, which are removed during engine removal must be reinstalled at the same locations when re-installing engine.
^ Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type:
Parts Supplier
^ Replace self-locking nuts and bolts during assembly work.
^ Always replace bolts that are secured with tightening torque as well as O-rings and gaskets.
^ Make sure centering sleeves for engine to transmission are correctly installed in cylinder block. Install or replace if necessary.
^ Slide intermediate plate or intermediate panel onto sleeves.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
^ Clean input shaft splines and (in case of used clutch plates) clean hub splines. remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant G 000 100 on splines. Do not grease guide sleeve.
^ Check centering of clutch disc.
^ Check clutch release bearing for wear and replace if necessary.
^ If the plastic ring of the release bearing is loose, adhere it to the bearing ring again using adhesive AMY-1 95-KD1-01.
^ 3 rectangular tabs (arrows) of the plastic ring reach into the cutouts of the bearing ring.
^ If grooves with depth of more than 0.5 mm are present, the release bearing must be replaced.
Vehicles with SAC clutch pressure plate:
When installing a new clutch disc in combination with a used SAC pressure plate (self-adjusting pressure plate), the adjustment ring of the pressure plate must be turned back to impact. Otherwise the pressure plate works with decreased contact pressure (clutch slips).
If the clutch disc is not replaced, the adjustment ring does not have to be turned back.
New SAC pressure plates are already preadjusted and must not be turned back.
Vehicles with automatic transmission 01V:
^ Drive plate is bolted to the crankshaft with a centering bushing (arrow).
^ Use original bolts when securing torque converter to drive plate:
Refer to Parts Supplier
When torque converter is installed correctly, distance between lower contact surface of threaded holes at torque converter and contact surface of converter housing on Automatic Transmission 01V is approximately 23 mm.
If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be approximately 11 mm.
WARNING: In case of an incorrectly inserted torque converter, the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF-pump will be destroyed, if the transmission is flanged to the engine.
All:
^ Carefully guide engine with transmission into chassis.
^ Set engine onto engine mounts.
WARNING: For vehicles with automatic transmission 01V, keep checking whether the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned before and during tightening of the bolts at engine/transmission flange. If the torque converter cannot be turned, it must be assumed that it has not been inserted properly and that the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.
^ Bolt transmission to engine.
^ Tighten T10062 support on the threaded holes for torque support to 20 Nm.
^ Lift engine using VAG1383A engine/gearbox jack just far enough so that the lower connecting bolts at engine/transmission can be installed.
Note: When working on a vehicle with all wheel drive, make sure the front constant velocity joint of driveshaft is not damaged when lifting engine.
^ Tighten bottom engine/transmission connecting bolts (arrows).
^ Lower engine again.
^ Install and align exhaust system tension.
^ Install starter.
^ Install generator.
^ Install A/C compressor.
^ Install ribbed belt.
^ Install bumper.
Vehicles with automatic transmission

All:
^ For harness connectors and routing:
Refer to Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations
^ Observe safety precautions after connecting the battery.
WARNING: Do not use a battery charger for starting assistance! There is risk of damage at the vehicle control modules.
^ Check engine oil level before starting engine.
^ Top up coolant.
Notes:
^ Only reuse drained coolant if cylinder head or engine block were not replaced.
^ Dirty coolant cannot be reused.
^ Fill up power steering fluid and bleed steering system:
