CAUTION!
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

To perform work sequence, the ground cable must be disconnected from battery. Check whether a coded radio is installed. If so, obtain anti-theft coding beforehand.

Procedure

- The engine is removed downward together with the transmission.

- All cable ties which are opened or cut open when removing engine, must be replaced in the same position when installing engine.

- With the ignition switched off disconnect battery Ground (GND) cable.

- Remove oil dipstick.

- Remove engine cover. First pull the front engine cover upward with a quick jerk - arrows A - and then pull it forward out of the rear mounting - arrow B -.





- If present, remove the insulation- arrow -.





- Remove the air filter housing and the intake hose.

- Remove the power steering reservoir from the battery tray; be sure not to loosen the hoses.

- Tie the reservoir to the lock carrier.

- Remove the battery and the battery tray.

- Disconnect the lower charge air pipe - 1 -. Remove the bolt - 2 - and release the electrical connections - arrows -. Carefully cover or seal any open ends.





- Remove the center, left and right noise insulation.





- Drain coolant => [ Cooling System, Draining and Filling ] Cooling System, Draining and Filling.

- Disconnect the rear coolant hose from the oil cooler.

- Disconnect the radiator coolant hoses from the engine using hose clamp pliers (V.A.G 1921) or spring clamp pliers (VAS 5024 A).

- Remove the generator wiring harness and free it up.

- Disconnect all electrical wires from the transmission and the starter and free them up.

CAUTION!
The fuel or fuel lines in fuel system can become very hot (danger of scalding)!

In addition, the fuel system is under pressure! Before opening the system, place cloths around the connection area and release pressure by carefully loosening the connection!

Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when working on the fuel system!

- Disconnect the fuel supply hose - 1 - and the fuel return hose - 2 - from the fuel lines on the cylinder head.





- Seal the lines so that the fuel system is not contaminated by dirt etc.

- Remove ribbed drive belt => [ Ribbed Drive Belt ] Ribbed Drive Belt.

With Manual Transmission

- Remove the shift mechanism from the transmission:

=> Manual Transmission 34 Manual Transmission

- Remove the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder.

Clutch pedal must not be operated.

With Automatic Transmission

- Remove the selector lever cable from the transmission.

Continuation for All

- Disconnect all connections - coolant, vacuum and intake hoses from engine.

- Pull off/disconnect all electrical connections as necessary from engine and lay aside.

- Remove the right drive axle, and remove the left drive axle from the transmission.

- Remove securing clamps for power steering pressure line.

- Disconnect the power steering pump on its mount and move it to the side; the hoses remain connected.

- Remove the pendulum support bolts in the specified sequence - arrows - shown.





With Air Conditioning

CAUTION!
The air conditioning refrigerant circuit must not be opened.

To prevent damage to condenser and also to the refrigerant lines/hoses, ensure that the pipes and hoses are not stretched, kinked or bent.

To facilitate removal of the engine without having to open the refrigerant circuit:

- Remove the generator.

- Remove the oil dipstick inlet spout.

- Remove the A/C compressor.

- Secure A/C compressor to lock carrier so that the refrigerant lines/hoses are not burdened.





- Remove the subframe.

- Remove the front exhaust pipe => [ Exhaust System Components ] [1][2]Exhaust System Components.

- Insert engine support (T10012) in engine/transmission jack (V.A.G 1383 A).

- Remove the lower coolant hose bracket from the cylinder block. The threaded hole is needed for attaching the engine support ( T10012).

- Fasten the engine support (T10012) to the front of the cylinder block using an M10 x 25 / 8.8 bolt to approximately 40 Nm.





- Hand-tighten the engine bracket (T10012) nut on the exhaust system side.

- Slightly lift the engine/transmission jack (V.A.G 1383 A).

- From above, remove the engine mount to engine mount bracket bolts - arrows -.





Use step ladder (VAS 5085) to remove the bolts.

- Remove the transmission mount to transmission mount bracket bolts- arrows B - from above.





Verify that all hose and line connections between engine, transmission and body have been disconnected.

Carefully guided engine with transmission, when lowering, to prevent damage to bodywork.

- Carefully lower engine with transmission.

- While doing this, route the power steering pressure line on the transmission.
