Mk2 16v engine removal
« on: 25 October 2011, 13:21 »
Thanks in advance guys

Could someone provide me with a link with step by step process for removing my engine. Preferably with pics.

I'm a complete layman but have plucked up courage to do engine swap to 2.0l

My issues are how to jack and where to place axle stands (if required)

- can't get a jack as it stands under the front of car to support engine.

- how to undo engine and wheel out

Apologies for my lack of knowledge but thanks once again

No it doesn't you can undo the front cross and remove the entire front end to bring it out on a crane through the newly created gap.

looks like we have a war on our hands !!!! :rolleyes: :grin:

to be honest it can be done both ways ,more easier method is removing front and hoisting away .though i use a 3 ton trolley jack under engine and box undo all mountings then rest it in the jack . :smug:
