#1: Removing engine, some opinions needed Author: rick-gti, Location: welshpool, mid walesPosted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 3:39 pm ---- Im removing a gti (138) engine and re-fitting it into another gti. The gti im removing it from is not goin back on the road. Would I be best to undo the subframe and drop the engine to avoid damaging the o/s side driveshaft. Ive got to change the cambelt and water pump before I fit it into the other gti. And also which is the best way to fit it? I have never fitted an engine, only ever removed them.

Just need a jack and a couple of axle stands to lower it level, and to raise it

What I want to no is if I undo the two engine/gearbox mounts and the four bolts holding the subframe can I remove this by lowering it and pulling it foward?
