The engine is removed upwards without the gearbox. To do this, you need a chain hoist (hoist), which you can hang firmly at a sufficient height. It is even better if you have an assistant who already has experience.
Before starting the actual work on removing the engine, it is necessary to remove all interfering parts of the car: the hood, the lower engine protection, the air filter housing, the battery and, if necessary, the radiator.
Since the Audi-100 has a huge number of electrical wires and vacuum pipes, you must first mark them all in order to finally install them all in the right place.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must make sure that you have the numbered security code of the anti-theft coding of the car radio.
The battery should only be disconnected when the ignition is switched off, otherwise the control units may be damaged.
Before finally disconnecting the engine, it is necessary to bring a support under the gearbox from below or slightly raise it together with the still installed engine. In the workshop, a special tool is used for this, which rests against the edge of the car fender mount.
The motor itself is provided with suspension lugs into which a lifting tool can be inserted. Be sure to secure the cable carefully.
Tightening torques
Both illustrations show two important steps in engine removal (pictured 6-cylinder engine): in the workshop, the engine is removed using such an engine lifting device (pic. left). For this purpose only, the engine has mounting eyes, into which, of course, both chains and ropes can be inserted. The image on the right shows the so-called support device (1), which is connected to the gearbox holder (2). The point is to give support to the gearbox, which would otherwise sink down with the engine removed. The same effect can be achieved by placing a support under the gearbox from below.
