Notes on Removing

Notes on removing

Note:
^ To perform the work sequence, the Ground cable must be disconnected from the battery. Check whether a coded radio is installed. If so, obtain anti-theft coding beforehand.
^ The engine is removed forward together with the transmission.
^ Leave the key in the ignition lock to prevent the steering wheel lock from engaging.
^ It is advisable to remove the front wheels before removing the engine/transmission assembly. The vehicle can be lowered on the hoist until the cover plates of the brake discs are just above the floor. This enables the most ergonomic work position possible regarding accessibility of components in the engine compartment.
^ All cable ties which are opened or cut open when removing the engine, must be replaced in the same position when installing the engine.
^ To prevent damage to removed components, use the container for removed components V.A.G 1698 for storage.
^ When the engine is installed in the engine compartment some components cannot be removed or can only be removed with great difficulty. Therefore, determine which components are faulty before removing engine.
