Engine, removing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 20 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volkswagen Golf, 2008 Volkswagen Golf, 2007 Volkswagen Golf, 2006 Volkswagen Golf, and 2005 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: During the following procedure the battery Ground strap must be disconnected. Check whether a coded radio is installed. Obtain the radio code first, if necessary.

The engine is removed in a downward direction together with the transmission.

CAUTION:

When performing repair work, especially due to the confined conditions in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following:

Route all types of lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) as well as electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored.
Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

NOTE: All cable ties which are opened or cut open when removing the engine must be replaced in the same position when installing the engine.

With ignition switched off disconnect battery Ground strap.
Remove engine cover.
Remove left and right sound insulation:
Refer to NOISE INSULATION (GASOLINE ENGINES), ASSEMBLY OVERVIEW

Drain coolant. Refer to Cooling system, draining and filling .
Remove battery and battery retainer.
Refer to BATTERY, REMOVING AND INSTALLING

Observe rules for cleanliness. Refer to Rules for cleanliness .

CAUTION:

Fire Hazard! Do NOT have anything in the area that can ignite fuel!
The fuel system is under pressure! Before opening the system place a cloth around the connection. Then release the pressure by carefully loosening the connection.
