Removing the engine - 200 TDi

stuntman:
Hello everyone, sorry for the flurry of new topics! (mods if there are too many please delet where applicable!)

Right, after spending the day trying to get to the bottom of an unknown engine the general conclusion is that it needs a rebuild and it'll get one. However, I need to get it out. I have already stripped off all the pipe work and the electrical bits, it onle leaves the seperation of the engine and 'box.

Is there an easy way to do this? Any advice would be greatly welcome as I have to do this twice and then put it back together again once.

I have decide the best way to get the other engine out of my scrap car is to remove the front wings and chop off the inner wings and front panel - leaving me with repair sections for the future :) -

Thanks in advance everyone

the way we did it last time was to undo the bits that attach it to the gearbox, then remove the engine mounts and lifted it out.

hi mines been out twice so far i found it easyer to disconect all pipes electrics ect. jack up engine with block of wood under sump (or better still if you have some sort of engine lift just leave it attached) take off engine mountings. that gives you enough room when lowered to access the top gearbox bolts( wich even then are a pain. :doh:)then all bein well should come out piece of cake.

get a trolley jack under the gearbox while you lift the engine... just to ease it off the gearbox bolts!
doing mine at the moment too!

An engine hoist is the way to go.  Hire one for a weekend, or buy one for £100 then sell it on afterwards.
