Remove angle gearbox For vehicles Octavia II and Superb II

First check if a ventilation pipe -arrow- is mounted at the angle gearbox. –  Remove air filter → Engine; Rep. gr.23 or → Engine; Rep. gr.24. To remove the ventilation pipe, the shift mechanism must be removed from the gearbox:

–  Remove lock washer -3- for shift cable from gearbox shift lever -1- and pull off the shift cable from the stud -arrow-. Metal relay lever –  Remove lock washer -4- for selector cable from relay lever -2- and pull off the selector cable from the stud -arrow-.

Plastic relay lever l  In order to avoid damage to the selector cable, the cable lock must be separated from the selector cable before removal. –  Pull forward the locking mechanism as far as the stop in -direction of arrow 1-, then lock by turning to the left in -direction of arrow 2-. For vehicles Octavia II and Superb II

–  Disconnect cable support from gearbox -arrows-, lay aside and tie up.

–  If present, remove the ventilation pipe from the angle gearbox -arrow-. –  Loosen the wheel bolts on front left and front right. For all vehicles –  Raise vehicle → Booklet Octavia II, . → Booklet Superb II, → BookletYeti –  Remove wheels at the front. –  Remove noise insulation → Body Work; Rep. gr.50 and front right wheelhouse liner → Body Work; Rep. gr.66. –  Remove all supports for exhaust gas system from gearbox and from exhaust pipe → Engine; Rep. gr.26.

–  Separate exhaust system at the clamping sleeve and remove bracket for the exhaust system from the assembly carrier -arrows- → Engine; Rep. gr.26. –  Tie up pre-exhaust pipe.   Note The decoupling elements in the exhaust pipe should not be bent by more than 10° - risk of damage.

–  If present, remove heat shield for drive shaft -arrows-.

–  Disconnect plug -1- from oil level and oil temperature sender -G266-.

–  Mark the position of the propshaft with flexible disk to the flange of the angle gearbox. –  Unscrew propshaft with flexible disk from flange of angle gearbox -arrows-.

–  Remove pendulum support from gearbox, to do so release the bolts -arrow B- and -arrow C-.   Note

After removing the pendulum support from the gearbox, the engine/gearbox unit swivels slightly towards the front (direction front). When removing and installing make sure that the gasket ring -arrow- in the flange of the propshaft is not damaged. –  Push engine/gearbox unit forwards and pull off the propshaft from the output flange of the angle gearbox. –  Raise propshaft and tie up.

–  Disconnect the plug connection on the front left vehicle level sensor -G78- (if present). –  Unscrew nut -2-. –  Release screw -1- and remove the sender. –  Fix the assembly carrier before removing → Chassis; Rep. gr.40. –  Remove assembly carrier with pendulum support, anti-roll bar, consoles, steering gear and track control arms → Chassis; Rep. gr.40. For vehicles Superb II and Yeti

–  If applicable remove heat shield -A- for drive shaft -arrows 1-. Vehicles with auxiliary heating. –  On these vehicles, remove the coolant pipes -B- from the angle gearbox and the engine -arrow 2-.   Note In this case do not open the cooling system. For all vehicles –  Remove right drive shaft from the flange shaft of the gearbox → Chassis; Rep. gr.40 and tie up (do not damage the surface protection).

–  Remove the right flange shaft bolt -arrow- using the socket insert -T10107A-.   Note On vehicles without particle filter, the right flange shaft remains in the angle gearbox.

For vehicles without particle filter –  If present, remove oil line for exhaust turbocharger -A- at engine. –  Release screws -arrows- for gearbox carrier at engine and angle gearbox and remove gearbox carrier.

–  If necessary the vacuum setting element of the charge pressure control -3- must be slightly turned to the side so that the upper fixing screws for angle gearbox are accessible on the manual gearbox. –  To do so, the screw -1- must be released and the screw -2- (covered) must only be slackened. Then press the vacuum setting element -3- slightly to the side -direction of arrow-, while doing so do not damage the rod -4-. For vehicles with particle filter –  Remove particle filter with bracket for particle filter → Engine; Rep. gr.26. –  Position the catch pan under the angle gearbox.

–  Screw extractor -T10037- onto right flange shaft.   Note Use the extractor -T10037- to remove the right flange shaft so that the needle bearings on the flange shaft are not damaged. –  Insert the thrust piece -MP3-410- between the gearbox carrier and the knurled nut -T10037/1-. –  Align the extractor -T10037- with the support -A- parallel to the flange. –  Take out the flange shaft.

–  Close angle gearbox with plugs -T10460-.

–  Remove the support -A- for exhaust gas turbocharger from the exhaust gas turbocharger, release the hollow screw -B- and remove the support → Engine; Rep. gr.21. –  Release screws for gearbox carrier at engine and angle gearbox -arrows 1, 2- and -3-. For all vehicles

–  Unscrew the bottom engine/gearbox connecting screws -arrows-.

On certain vehicles a heat shield -arrow A- is located on the top side of the angle gearbox. The screw -arrow B- is accessible below the heat shield. The screw -arrow C- is accessible above the heat shield. –  Unscrew screws -arrow B- and -arrow C-. –  Carefully press off angle gearbox from manual gearbox, while doing so secure it against falling. –  Take out angle gearbox.

–  If the angle gearbox is replaced, the heat shield -A- must be removed from the previous angle gearbox -arrows-.
