Installing Engine Carrier

Information 

Specifications for wrench sizes (a/f specifications) for screw heads are described as follows:

• Torx screws: (E..) for external Torx, (T..) for internal Torx. 
• Hexagon-head bolts (internal and external hexagon): Wrench size (a/f) 

→ Support the engine with the prescribed tool.

1. Check that the engine is supported correctly.
2. Install engine carrier bracket -1-  .
   1. 2.1. Position the bracket on the engine.
   2. 2.2. Screw in three hexagon-head bolts (a/f 16) -3 to 5-  .
   3. 2.3. Fit one M10 x 35 hexagon-head bolt (a/f 16) -2-  through the maintenance opening in the passenger compartment.
   4. 2.4. Fit hexagon-head bolts (a/f 16) -2 to 5-  uniformly and tighten to the prescribed torque.

      → Tightening torque: 65 Nm (48 ftlb.)

   3. 3.3. Tighten the collar nut on the engine mounting and counter at the hexagon-head bolt. Get a second person to hold the positioning aid securely.

      → Tightening torque: 120 Nm (89 ftlb.) 

   4. 3.4. Lift up the engine using transmission jack V.A.G. 1383 A WE 1082  until the lower part of the engine carrier is touching the body.
   5. 3.5. Screw four M10 collar nuts -2-  onto the threaded bolts -3-  .
   6. 3.6. Tighten collar nuts to the specified torque.

      → Tightening torque: 65 Nm (48 ftlb.)
