Removal and fitting guides for 2.0L16V and G60 engines

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Hey all,

 

I am looking for a fitting and removal guide (with pictures if possible) for the G60 and 2.0L16V engines into the Corrado. Does anone know if these exist or has anyone written one that I could use?

 

Many thanks,

its pretty easy really with the right tools.....

 

Jack up car onto axle stands, remove all bolts from inner CV joints, pop bottom ball joints, and pull hub and drive shaft away from the dif.

remove exhaust manifold, on 16v this is easier than on g60 due to inlet manifold.

Unplug wiring and waterhoses to heater matrix

remove bolts from the 3 engine mounts, put weight of engine onto the engine crane, and remove the engine mount brackets completely, lift out the engine. Will come out if you make the engine hang at an angle so the gearbox is lower than the sump.

 

Can be done easy in a few hours as long as exhaust manifold bolts behave themselves.

actually Andy, it's easier if you remove the slam panel rather than popping the ball joints as then you can just take out the front subframe and pull the engine out straight through the front of the car rather than having to lift it over the front... it also means you can still move the car on it's wheels should you need to as long as you tie up the axles loosely... 8)

6 and half a dozen...... it aint much fun removing the front bumper and everything if you dont have to.

 

You can put the ball joints back in and set it down again in two mins.....

 

but point taken, and duley noted for future consideration!!!
