Engine mount removal help

(1/4) > >>

Patrick2691:
Hi guys,

Just purchased my first VW yesterday and got out early this morning (in the snow and sleet) to change the timing belt as it's well overdue (on time) in my 06 gti. All was well until I had to remove the drivers side engine mount bracket (engine to mount) and I can't get the damn thing out.

I've read guides saying you need to raise/ lower the engine and I did so but still could never get it too budge.

Any help?

If it's loose then I don't see the problem of it coming out but there is a specific way as I had this issue with my mk1 tt and it was a pita to do both times in five years.

Patrick2691:
I just can't seem to get enough room to swing it out in any direction. The gap between the engine and the bodywork is so tight. I tried lowering the engine as much as I could and raising it too.
