breaking a caravelle?
« on: 16 March 2007, 18:17 »
now, i am starting a new job on monday at wallhouse auto's. its a VW specialist breakers in erith, kent. when i spoke to the man who owns the breakers he said that there is a high possibilty that i will be removing the engine and gearbox from a caravelle. now i have never seen the engine in a caravelle, let alone take one out. so i have no idea how to do this job.

so if the man says to me "get on with it then", i want to look like i know what i am doing as i dont want to loose the opportunity of working in the garage.

i was just wondering if anyone had any pointers and helpful advice  :rolleyes: so that i dont look like a complete beginner!!

as this is mainly a golf gti forum, i dont know how many of u have done anything like this (appart from those who work in garages).

any help and advice would be greatly appreciated  :smiley:

thanks

It's in the boot!! :D gearbox mount on the gearbox and then engine mount on either side of the engine and trolley jack underneath lower it undo gearbox and remove!

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08
