Would be a good time to do it but you don't NEED to drop the subframe it gives very little extra space to be honest.. !! A waste of time IMO.

You don't need to take the subframe off to do the roll bar either, undo the bolts a bit and it'll drop down enough to get the bar out.  :happy2:

Your TDi was 5 speed though?

xjay1337:
Yeah it was.

6 speed Mk4 is a bit more tricky.  From the DIYs ive read of a MK5 GTI (having done my TDI one countless times, got bored of it in the end  :signLOL: :signLOL: ) you dont need to remove subframe on these either.

Happy to be corrected if tjatthat's the case :)

5 speed falls out.  6 speed removal and fitting is far faster with the subframe removed.  I mark the subframe positions so it 99% back in the correct place.  It can be done with the frame still on, but its an arse.
