Engine and Transmission, Separating
Engine and Transmission, Separating
=> [ with a Automatic Transmission ]
=> [ with a Manual Transmission ]
Conditions:
• The engine/transmission subassembly is removed and installed on the engine support (T10359).
with a Automatic Transmission
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Hose Clamps up to 40 mm (3093)
• Crankshaft Adapter (T03003)
• Socket SW15 (V/175)
• Hose Clamps up to 25 mm Dia (3094)
• Engine Bung Set (VAS 6122)
• Shackle (10-222 A/12)
• Shop Crane - Load Cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100)
• Torque Wrench (40-200 Nm) (V.A.G 1332)
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:
• Route lines of all types (for example, fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.
• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
Separating
- Remove the nut - arrow - and the bracket - 1 - from the upper starter stud.
- Remove the upper starter stud.
• Mark the coolant hoses on the transmission fluid cooler to prevent mixing them up when reinstalling them again later.
- Clamp off the coolant hoses to the transmission fluid cooler using the hose clamps up to 25 mm dia. (3094) and hose clamps up to 40 mm (3093).
- Open the spring clamps - A - and disconnect the coolant hoses - B and C - from the cooler.
- Seal the coolant hoses and connections with plugs from the engine bung set (VAS 6122).
- Remove the upper transmission/engine bolts - arrows - using a 12 point swivel socket - A -.
- Turn the cap - 1 - in the - direction of the arrow - and remove it.
- Remove the 6 torque converter nuts - arrow - using the socket SW15 (V/175).
- Rotate the engine in engine rotation direction - arrow - an additional 60° turn using the crankshaft adapter (T03003).
• The torque converter will be pulled out when the transmission is separated from the engine if all 6 nuts are not removed!
• Counter hold the vibration damper using the crankshaft adapter (T03003) when loosening the torque converter nuts.
- Remove the selector lever cable bracket nuts and bracket from the transmission.
- Install the shackle (10-222 A/12) and the shop crane - load cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100) to the transmission, but do not lift it.
- Remove the last transmission to engine bolt.
- Separate the transmission from the engine. Push the torque converter out of the engine drive plate at the same time.
• Secure the torque converter from falling out.
Assembling
Assembly is performed in reverse the order of removal; pay attention to the tightening specifications.
with a Manual Transmission
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Shackle (10-222 A/12)
• Shop Crane - Load Cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100)
• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1332)
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:
• Route lines of all types (for example, fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.
• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
Separating
- Remove the starter.
- Disconnect all electrical connections from the transmission to the engine and free them up.
- Install the shackle (10-222 A/12) and the shop crane - load cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100) to the transmission, but do not lift it.
- Remove the upper engine/transmission bolts.
- Support the transmission using the shop crane and remove the last bolts.
- Remove the lower engine/transmission bolts.
- Separate the transmission from the engine; when doing this, guide the transmission.
