REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Removing an engine from a vehicle requires the disconnection or removal of many components and the removal of many fasteners. If possible, before starting the removal procedure, clean the engine and engine compartment thoroughly. Lubricate any rusted or corroded fasteners with a penetrating lubricant to ease disassembly.

Prepare and organize your work area before beginning any component removal. Have drain pans and sealable containers available to catch any drained fluids or residual fluid spills. Have several boxes set aside for larger components, and containers for any removed hardware and brackets. Clear plastic sealable freezer bags work well for organizing removed hardware, and can be written on for future reference using a permanent felt tipped marker.

Have a roll of masking tap and a pencil handy to label removed or disconnected items such as the wiring, hoses, fuel lines and brackets. If necessary, make small notes on masking tape and attach them to the areas of the engine compartment where components, retainers, cable ties or related items were removed or routed. This ensures proper mounting of removed components and the correct routing of any disconnected harnesses, cables or brackets.

Have a small noteguide handy to take notes and keep track of parts or supplies that might be needed during disassembly or assembly. Any fasteners that have become rounded off or have become corroded should be replaced. During removal, inspect the hoses, wires, cables, and fluid lines and replace them if they show signs of deterioration or damage. Once the engine, and if necessary, the transaxle are removed, accessibility is greatly increased and replacement of the related components is far easier and less time consuming.

Protect the vehicle's painted surfaces using suitable fender covers or their equivalent. If the hood is to be removed, protect the rear corners with masking tape on both the hood and the body of the vehicle. Tape cardboard over the corners of the hood before removal. This will allow the hood to be stored upright without damage. If necessary, a thick protective masking tape is available from an automotive paint supply vendor.

During assembly, make sure all hoses, wires, cables, and fluid lines are installed such that they are not resting on sharp edges or subjected to areas of excessive heat. If routing requires they be near any moving components such as mechanical linkages, belts or pulleys, be sure to secure them with suitable cable ties, retainers or the original brackets supplied by the manufacturer.

In the process of removing the engine, you will come across a number of steps which call for the removal of a separate component or system, such as "disconnect the exhaust system" or "remove the radiator." In most instances, a detailed removal procedure can be found elsewhere in this guide.

It is virtually impossible to list each individual wire and hose which must be disconnected, simply because so many different model and engine combinations have been manufactured. Careful observation and common sense are the best possible approaches to any repair procedure.

Removal and installation of the engine can be made easier if you follow these basic points:

If you have to drain any of the fluids, use a suitable container.

Always tag any wires or hoses and, if possible, the components they came from before disconnecting them.

Because there are so many bolts and fasteners involved, store and label the retainers from components separately in clear plastic sealable freezer bags, muffin pans, jars or coffee cans. This will prevent confusion during installation.

After unbolting the transmission or transaxle, always make sure it is properly supported.

If it is necessary to disconnect the air conditioning system, have this service performed by a qualified technician using a recovery/recycling station. If the system does not have to be disconnected, unbolt the compressor and set it aside. Take care to not kink or damage the high pressure hoses.

When unbolting the engine mounts, always make sure the engine is properly supported. When removing the engine, make sure that any lifting devices are properly attached to the engine. It is recommended that if your engine is supplied with lifting hooks, your lifting apparatus be attached to them.

Lift the engine from its compartment slowly, checking that no hoses, wires or other components are still connected.

After the engine is clear of the compartment, place it on a suitable engine stand or workbench.

After the engine has been removed, you can perform a partial or full teardown of the engine using the procedures outlined in this guide.

CAUTION

Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around fuel. Whenever servicing the fuel system, always work in a well ventilated area. Do NOT allow fuel spray or vapors to come in contact with a spark or open flame. Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the work area. Always keep fuel in a container specifically designed for fuel storage; also, always properly seal fuel containers to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion.

CAUTION

NEVER open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.

CAUTION

The EPA warns that prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause a number of skin disorders, including cancer! You should make every effort to minimize your exposure to used engine oil. Protective gloves should be worn when changing the oil. Wash your hands and any other exposed skin areas as soon as possible after exposure to used engine oil. Soap and water, or waterless hand cleaner should be used.

VR6

The VR6 engine has a unique 15° V-angle between its cylinder banks. Traditional 60 or 90° engines require a great deal of engine compartment space. VW's compact VR6 was designed to enable it to fit into a chassis that was originally designed to accommodate a longitudinal inline 4-cylinder engine. The VR6 consists of a cast iron block with a one-piece aluminum alloy cylinder head.

NOTE

The engine was named the VR6 through the combination of two words. Vee (a reference to the configuration of the cylinders) and Reihenmotor (a German word for "inline"). Engineers were essentially referring to it as an inline V-6.
