The Engine with Transmission Is Removed Downward.

NOTE:

Secure all disconnected lines and connections with suitable fixtures, for example, cable ties to the engine or to the body (depending on its >>origin<< ). Seal off open connections with blind plugs.

To rotate the driveshaft freely, move the selector lever into "N" .

So that the front wheels can still be turned with the battery disconnected, the battery must only be disconnected with ignition key inserted.

When the engine is installed some components cannot be removed or can only be removed with great difficulty. Therefore determine which components are faulty before removing so that they can replaced while they are removed.

To prevent damage to the removed components, use the Storage Rack:VAG1698A for storage.

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