• ◆ Socket 3249
• ◆ Workshop crane V.A.G 1202 A
• ◆ Sealant AMV174 004 01

Note:

Replace gaskets and seals.

Removing

• ‒ → Remove noise insulation -arrows-.
• ‒ Drain engine oil.

Vehicles with air conditioner:

Note:

Mark the direction of rotation with chalk or felt pen before removing the ribbed belt. If the belt rotates in the wrong direction when it is refitted, it may break.

• ‒ → Loosen securing bolts of tensioning roller for ribbed belt for A/C compressor -arrows-. Slacken belt and remove.
• ‒ Remove tensioning roller.

All models

• ‒ → Unbolt stop for torque reaction support -arrows-.

Note:

Illustration shows vehicle with air conditioner.

Vehicles with air conditioner:

• ‒ Unbolt longitudinal strut from bracket (left side).
• ‒ → Unbolt bracket for torque reaction support from engine -arrows-.

Note:

Shown in illustration with engine removed.

All models

• ‒ → Cut through cable ties -arrows-. Open retainer for starter cable and take out the cable.

• ‒ → Unbolt both nuts -1- on engine mountings (bottom).

• ‒ → Remove engine cover panels -arrows-.

• ‒ → Set up support bar 10-222 A on wing panel flanges.

• ‒ → Remove lifting eye from lifting tackle 2024 A.
• ‒ Replace pin -1- in centre hole on lifting tackle and secure with locking pin.
• ‒ Engage pin on lifting tackle 2024 A on spindle of support bar 10-222 A.
• ‒ Engage lifting tackle 2024 A in front and rear lifting eyes on engine.

• ‒ Raise engine as far as possible with spindle of support bar.

Note:

Do not lift engine so far that coolant hoses, pipes or wiring are damaged or stretched. Ensure adequate clearance for viscous fan. If necessary, remove viscous fan as follows.

• ‒ Slacken ribbed belt=>Page 13-18.
• ‒ → Hold viscous fan pulley in position with M5 x 60 mm bolt and unscrew with 8 mm hexagon key.
• ‒ Take off viscous fan and place in fan cowl at the front.

• ‒ → Support subframe with workshop crane V.A.G 1202 A.

• ‒ → First remove front subframe bolts -2- and -3- (left and right). Then unscrew bolts -1-.

Note:

The subframe should be detached and lowered only at the front, otherwise it will be necessary to check wheel alignment.

• ‒ → Lower subframe slowly using workshop crane 1202 A.
• ‒ Take out workshop crane 1202 A; pivot anti-roll bar downwards.

Vehicles with manual gearbox

• ‒ → Loosen nut -arrow- on left gearbox mounting until it is flush with end of bolt (approx 4 turns on the thread).

Vehicles with automatic gearbox

• ‒ → Loosen rear bolt -2- on left gearbox mounting a few turns; unscrew and remove front bolt -1- on left gearbox mounting.

All models

• ‒ → Loosen rear bolt -2- on right gearbox mounting a few turns; unscrew and remove front bolt -1- on right gearbox mounting.

• ‒ Unbolt sump.

Notes:

• ◆ → On vehicles with manual gearbox the two rear sump bolts are accessible via the recess -arrow- on the flywheel (turn flywheel as required).
• ◆ Use socket attachment 3249 to unscrew the rear sump bolts.

• ‒ Take off sump: if necessary loosen it by striking lightly with a rubber hammer.

Installing

Installation is carried out in the reverse order, when doing this note the following:

Notes:

• ◆ Renew seals and gaskets.
• ◆ When installing sump with engine removed from vehicle, ensure that sump is positioned flush with intermediate plate at flywheel end (i.e. sump should protrude 0.8 mm from cylinder block).

• ‒ Clean sealing surfaces before installing sump.
• ‒ Apply a small amount of sealant "AMV 174 004 01" to sides of sealing flanges (front and rear).
• ‒ Fit sump and tighten all bolts securing sump to cylinder block to 5 Nm initially.
• ‒ Tighten bolts securing sump to gearbox.
• ‒ Tighten bolts securing sump to cylinder block in two stages in diagonal sequence.
• ‒ Tighten M10 bolts securing sump to cylinder block.
• ‒ Installsubframe

=> Running gear, front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive; Repair group 40; Removing and installing subframe

• ‒ Allow stop for torque reaction support to rest on rubber buffer for torque reaction support under its own weight, and tighten bolts to 25 Nm.
• ‒ Install ribbed belt =>Page 13-20.
• ‒ Fill up with engine oil and check oil level.
