In this episode I remove the engine and gearbox ahead of replacing the clutch, flywheel, timing belt and timing chain. This way is far easier than how many people do it, allowing you to leave the radiator, coolers and bumper in place.
I thought it was already pretty easy removing these engines (I've done it 5 times now on me and my mate's projects), but this just makes it so much easier, will be doing this when I put my big turbo on, I usually pull the front end, and keep the driveshafts in place, but this looks way easier and less hassle, cheers!
Fantastic video but I think you've inspired me to sell it. Tons of works and parts I can't afford. My MK5 needs a clutch, flywheels, starter, brake issues, motor issues, headliner, wiper pump, new radio and some minor body work for starters even though it was driving not long ago...
Mmm I've just pulled two motors out using both methods as AC wasn't an issue for me. But pulling the front end off way by way alot easier and faster. Has previous experience so both were at the same level of knowledge. But yeah recommend front end off makes life sooooo much easier.
Hello I currently have a Golf 5 Gti with the AXX engine mark, I had to buy a new engine with the mark because the old one was broken, I wonder if I can do a swap from a newer year BWE engine?
