–  Remove engine cover. –  To do this, pull engine cover upwards abruptly at front and right -arrows A- and then pull forwards out of rear fastening -arrow B-.

–  Separate push-on connectors of fuel lines -arrows-.   Note t  Do this by pressing in catch of push-on connectors. t  Ensure that no fuel escapes (use a cloth). –  Lay fuel filter with hoses to side. –  Disconnect coolant hose from top of expansion tank. –  Remove expansion tank and lay it to side. –  Remove charge air pipe between charge air cooler and turbocharger. –  Carefully cover or seal open ends. Golf, Golf Plus and Touran:

–  Fit engine support bracket -10-222A- with adapters -10-222A/22- and take up weight of engine in installation position. Passat:

–  Set up support bracket -10-222A- with legs -10-222A/1- and support engine in installation position, as shown. Continuation for all vehicle types:

–  Remove securing bolts from assembly mounting/engine support -arrows- and remove complete assembly mounting.   Note t  The assembly mounting may only be removed if the engine is supported with support bracket 10-222A! t  The engine support must only be loosened when the assembly mounting has been removed.   WARNING When raising and lowering engine using support bracket -10-222A-, ensure that no components or hoses are damaged or torn off. –  Remove noise insulation tray → General body repairs, exterior; Rep. gr.50. –  Remove front right wheel housing liner.

Otherwise the engine support can be stressed and it can break.

–  Tighten bolts for engine support in the sequence shown -1…3- to 40 Nm + 1/2 turn (180 °) further. To do this, raise or lower engine using support bracket -10 - 222 A-.    I : Engine support with less clearance to engine    II: Engine support with greater clearance to engine   Note Before installing assembly mounting, tighten all engine support bolts to prescribed torque. –  Install assembly mounting between engine and body (renew securing bolts) → Chapter.

–  Bolt engine assembly mounting to engine support -arrows- by bringing contact surfaces together using support bracket -10-222A-. Specified torque: 60 Nm + 90° (1/4 turn) further Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling sequence. In the process, note the following: t  Ensure that fuel hose connections are tight. t  Do not interchange supply and return lines (return line blue or with blue markings, supply line black). t  When installing charge air pipes, ensure that locking lugs engage correctly. –  Install wheel housing liner. –  Install noise insulation tray. → General body repairs, exterior; Rep. gr.50.
