Engine swap guide needed

(1/4) > >>

Markis236:
Any one got a guide on how to do and angina change / swap in the mk5 golf gti ? Doing one Saturday and need my baby up and running by Monday so would be handy to have a guide to go by

Paradox1:
Id imagine its the same as taking out any fwd engine.

If you haven't done it before I would try it out hoping for the best unless you know exactly what your doing. its not simple like fitting an induction kit lol

Ricky123:
You'll be lucky to get it done in a day. Leave the gearbox in, the mounts will hold it fine. Remove the full front end off the car too.

Markis236:
Iv changed an engine before in my mk2 but eats the best way to do it ? Take the complete front end out and try lift the hole unit out in one ?

r5gtt:
Front end off front wheels off unbolt drive shafts from inner I think 12 sided spline bit. battery tray out gear box and engine mounts off. lower dog mount off. all ancillaries unplugged where necessary. gear links off if taking it out with engine or your choice whether to leave in.
Fuel lines off
all radiator hoses front and rear of engine off. air con can swing outward without taking pipes off I think so you'll have to check.

anything I've missed?.
