[Bellend]

Done today. 5 hours with tea and beans on toast break. Never done one on a 1.8T before.

My tips are forget jacking one side of the engine up and down, just take the other side mount off and drop the thing right down and up. Dropped onto a pallet truck.

Got the other bit of the mount straight off no worries. Fired up fine.

Also, the belt is a bastard to get on so just remove the top dapener bolt and loosen the bottom one, hold pressure on the belt at the water pump and get a mate to spin the crank ever so slightly backwards. Put bolt back in, do damper up, spin clockwise, check marks and pull the pin.

Reckon the next one would easily get done in 3-4 hours.

ECP also sell timing tools for 12 quid!

are you saying you used a forklift? 

No, a pallet truck that has been modified for holding engine, gearbox and subframe combos. Awesome idea that me and dad had and made, makes dropping engines and gearboxes an absolute doddle.

@Barry, I suggest you keep quiet mate, no need for it all.

Funny that, I'm not sitting here trying to put whatever your trade is down.

You're being out of order for no genuine reason. You don't know me, nor my work which is going pretty well at the moment FYI. Please just keep the comments to yourself. Thanks.
