For all 6 cylinder engines:
- Assemble both 10-222A/3 engine support adapters for front and rear spindles on support bar.
- Set 10-222A engine support bridge onto the fender mounting flanges using 10-222A/1 brackets.
- Hang both spindles on the adapters.
- Secure engine to spindles. To do so, additionally use a shackle -1- at the rear side of the engine to avoid damage.
All:
- Take up weight of engine/transmission assembly on spindles.
- Tighten the rear spindle less, to enable later lowering at rear.
- Raise vehicle.
- Remove front wheels.
- Remove sound-deadening pan.
- Remove left and right heat shields for drive axles (arrows).
- Disconnect drive axles from transmission drive flanges.
- Disconnect engine speed (RPM) sensor -G28- (arrow B) from transmission at front left (if installed).
- Remove connector for speedometer (arrow -A-) from transmission.
- Remove noise insulation bracket -1-.
- Swing securing lever -4-, disconnect connector for transmission wiring harness.
- Disconnect connector -2- of wire for multi-function switch.
- Unbolt bracket -3- for harness connector.
For vehicles with hex bolts:
- Remove torque converter from drive plate by removing 3 bolts using special tool V175 (turn crank shaft an additional 1/3 turn every time).
For vehicles with Torx bolts:
- Unbolt 3 torque converter bolts from drive plate using respective Torx insert (turn crank shaft an additional 1/3 turn every time).
All-wheel-drive vehicles
- Remove heat shield -A- above driveshaft.
- Remove rear part of exhaust system if necessary.
- Remove heat shield -2- for driveshaft from cover for Torsen differential (arrows).
- Unbolt driveshaft from transmission and hang or support.
Continuation for all vehicles
- Position 3282 transmission support.
Use 3282/19 adjustment plate to position the 3282 transmission support for Automatic Transmission 01V.
The symbols on the adjustment plate indicate the necessary mounts and the arrow points toward front of vehicle.
- Roll VAG 1383 A engine/transmission hoist with 3282 transmission support under transmission and support transmission.
- Align adjustment plate parallel to transmission.
- Secure transmission on 3282 transmission support using bolt -A-.
Automatic Transmission 01V with All Wheel Drive is supported at the same positions as the Front Wheel Drive version.
- Remove left and right transmission support with transmission mount
- Unbolt multi-function Transmission Range (TR) switch -F125- for protection against damage (arrows) and expose wiring harness.
- Mark position of mounting bracket for selector lever cable to transmission housing for reinstallation, unbolt mounting bracket (arrows).
- If installed, press off securing brace (arrow) at end of selector lever cable.
- Pry off selector lever cable from lever/shift rod (arrow).
- Remove upper connecting bolts for engine/transmission.
For 6 cylinder TDI engines
- Loosen bolt -A- (at rear of turbocharger) several turns and rotate brace -B- to side in arrow direction. Then re-tighten bolt -A- lightly.
Note:
Illustration depicts engine from rear with the transmission removed.
Continuation for all vehicles
- Before loosening subframe, it must be checked whether holes -1- and -2- (at least) line up using 3393 testing mandrel.
If this is not the case, an axle alignment must be performed after the carrier is installed.
- Remove bolts -1- and -2- at rear of subframe on both sides of vehicle.
- Completely remove bolts -3- at front of subframe on both sides of vehicle.
By removing the bolts, the subframe lowers itself approx. 150 mm at rear edge, illustration A37-0067.
- Slightly lower engine/transmission subframe at rear above VAG 1383 A hoist.
- Remove front exhaust pipes:
- Remove remaining connection bolts for engine/transmission.
- Press transmission off engine, while pressing torque converter out of drive plate.
- Press torque converter against the ATF pump (arrow).
- Rotate transmission (arrow) and carefully move into position between subframe and vehicle floor.
- Lower transmission.
- Secure converter so it does not fall out.
