#1: How heavy is a gti engine Author: Lumpymash, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 2:36 pm ---- Hello
Not looking for an actual weight lol but how many people would it take to lift 1?
Only asking as I've found the gearbox I'm after but includes engine, manifolds, drive shafts, starter motor, ecu etc.
For a bargain price of £100 just down the road from me!
But I've got to go and dismantle it all and drive it back.
Once I've took gearbox etc off the engine could 2 people lift it into the back of a 206?

#3: Re: How heavy is a gti engine Author: Lumpymash, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:11 pm ---- Does anyone have an engine crane who want to rent it out for a day and lives near southampton.
#4: Re: How heavy is a gti engine Author: cainw1, Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:23 pm ---- I reckon even if 2 people could lift it or however you get it into the back of the 206, it would probably break the rear suspension.
#5: Re: How heavy is a gti engine Author: Lumpymash, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:24 pm ---- I'm in need of as much tips and advice as I can get.
I'm removing the engine Saturday.
Never done this before I'll be learning whilst doing it.

#7: Re: How heavy is a gti engine Author: cainw1, Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:30 pm ---- No that's what I thought. Its just an awkward shape to lift!
#8: Re: How heavy is a gti engine Author: Lumpymash, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:30 pm ---- Any links to guides anyone might know of that would help would be appreciated. Just to start removing parts.

#10: Re: How heavy is a gti engine Author: Carlos_WR1, Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:32 pm ---- See if there's a HSS rental place near you, i would have thought there would be and i would have thought theyd rent out engine cranes.
