Engine/Transmission, Separating and Assembling

Engine/Transmission, Separating and Assembling

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Shackle (10-222 A/12)

• Multipoint Socket (T10035) (for vehicles with a automatic transmission)

• Insert Tool 18 mm (T10179) (for vehicles with a automatic transmission)

• Socket SW15 (V/175) (for vehicles with a automatic transmission)

• Shop Crane - Load Cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100)

Requirements

• The engine/transmission assembly is removed and secured to the engine support (T10359).

Separating

- Remove the starter.

with a Automatic Transmission or Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG(R))

- If present, disconnect the coolant hoses from the transmission oil cooler and plug the openings.

with All Wheel Drive (AWD)

- Remove the bevel box.

Continuation for All

- Disconnect and free up all electrical connections from the transmission to the engine.

- Install the shackle (10-222 A/12) to the transmission, then connect the shop crane - load cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100) to the shackle, but do not lift it.






- Remove the upper bolts the connect the engine and transmission.

with a Manual Transmission or a DSG(R)

- Before removing the last bolts, support the transmission with the workshop crane.

- Remove the lower bolts connecting the engine and transmission.

- Separate the transmission from the engine; when doing this, guide the transmission.

with a Automatic Transmission

Loosen the bolts using the insert tool 18 mm (T10179). When tightening, observe the tightening specifications.

The multipoint socket (T10035) makes the assembling easier.

- For safety when assembling, first install a bolt which is easily accessible.

- Begin with both lower bolts.

The hole for removing the torque converter nuts is located on the back side of the engine and is covered with a rubber cap.

- Remove this cap.

- Remove the six torque converter nuts - arrow - using the socket SW15 (V/175).






• Carefully rotate the engine further!

• When installing, be especially mindful of the engine while guiding the transmission to the engine. The starter ring gear can be held steady from the outside using a screwdriver. When installing, the stud bolts are located in the holes on the drive plate.

- Before removing the last bolt, support the transmission with the shop crane.

- Now remove the last bolt.

- Separate the transmission from the engine; when doing this, guide the transmission.

• Pay attention to the torque converter. It must be removed together with the transmission.

- During transport, secure the converter to keep it from falling out, for example, with a wire - A -.






Assembling

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of separation, pay attention to the tightening specifications in each repair information.
