radiator cap. Remove intake air duct. On 16-valve engines, remove
intake manifold assembly. On vehicles with A/C, remove trim panel and
lower apron. Remove condenser from crossmember and radiator. Remove
all duct work. Mark and disconnect A/C and cooling fan electrical
connectors. Remove accessory belts.
2) On Golf, GTI and Jetta models, leave A/C hoses attached

of vehicle and secure.
3) On Cabriolet and Scirocco models, remove alternator and
timing belt cover. Remove 3 A/C bracket Allen head bolts behind timing
belt cover. Remove A/C bracket support brace. Remove A/C compressor
bracket bolts. Leave hoses attached and secure A/C compressor with
bracket out of way.
4) On all models, open heater controls. Remove cooling hose
from thermostat housing flange and drain coolant. Remove flange. Mark
and remove all cooling system hoses (as necessary).
5) On Golf, GTI and Jetta models, remove grille from radiator
support. Disconnect electrical connectors at radiator support. Remove
radiator-to-support bolts. Remove radiator support using care not
damage headlights. Remove radiator, fan and shroud assembly.
6) On all models, remove axle shafts from transaxle. See FWD
AXLE SHAFTS article in the DRIVE AXLES section. Mark and disconnect
shift linkage and speedometer cable. Mark and remove electrical
connectors and vacuum hoses (as necessary). Disconnect throttle,
cruise and kickdown cables (if equipped). Leave fuel lines connected
and remove cold start injector and warm-up regulator.
7) Remove fuel injectors and install protective caps and
plugs. Remove rear engine mount. Remove complete transaxle mount. On
Cabriolet models, remove right front tire assembly. Remove right and
left engine mount through bolts.
8) On all models, install engine sling on engine lift hooks.
Carefully raise engine and transaxle out of vehicle. Separate
transaxle from engine (if necessary).
INSTALLATION
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Engine alignment
adjustment is necessary whenever engine is removed or mounts are
loosened. To adjust, loosen through bolt on engine mount "A". Loosen
transmission transaxle mount "B" bolts. Loosen front engine mount and
bracket. See Fig. 2.
2) Lightly rock engine and transaxle to allow position to

REMOVAL (FOX)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Open heater valve,
coolant expansion tank and drain radiator through lower radiator hose.
Mark and disconnect all heater hoses. Disconnect electric cooling fan
and thermo switch. Remove lower and side radiator mounting bolts.
Remove fan, shroud and radiator. Remove M/T clutch cable (if
equipped).
2) Mark and disconnect electrical wiring and vacuum hoses (as
necessary). Disconnect throttle, cruise and kickdown linkage (if

hooks. Raise engine/transaxle until engine clears engine mounts.
Ensure transaxle is supported. Remove remaining engine-to-transaxle
bolts. Lift and separate engine from vehicle without transaxle.
INSTALLATION
Lubricate transaxle main shaft splines and contact area
between clutch release bearing and clutch pressure plate with MoS2
grease. DO NOT lubricate guide sleeve for clutch release bearing. To

If you want "TUNE-UP" type information, see D - ADJUSTMENTS
for the adjustment procedures. If you are familiar with the
procedures, but need a quick way to find the specification, go to C -
TUNE-UP SPECS or C - SPECIFICATIONS for the specifications pertaining
to the vehicle.
When diagnosing driveability problems, first go to F - BASIC
TESTING. This article is here to help eliminate wasted diagnostic
time. If the basic systems are working properly, go to G - TESTS W/
CODES.
If the vehicle still is having a driveability problem or if
the vehicle has no self-diagnostic system, go to H - TESTS W/O CODES.
This article will help you diagnose the problem by symptom, locate the
symptom exhibited by the vehicle, and inspect or test the items which
may be causing the problem.
After finding which specific system or component requires
testing, use the I - SYS/COMP TESTS article to tests the systems and
components. We have also included (when available) pin voltage charts
and sensor range charts. These can be found in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
and K - SENSOR RANGE CHARTS.
Also included in this section are wiring diagrams and vacuum
diagrams. These can be found in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS and M - VACUUM
DIAGRAMS.
When all diagnostic tests have been performed and the problem
has been discovered, it may be necessary to replace or overhaul the
defective part. This information can be found in
N - REMOVE/INSTALL/OHAUL.
The content of each of these articles is outlined below. As a
summary of the driveability diagnosis, see ROUTINE OUTLINE in this
article.
A - ENGINE/VIN ID
This article shows how to identify the model and engine by
its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A model coverage chart shows
each model and engine, the fuel system, ignition system and engine
code. The engine serial number locations are also included in this
article.
B - EMISSION APPLICATION
These charts identify the emission systems and sub-systems
applicable to each model and engine combination.
C - TUNE-UP SPECS
This is a collection of quick-reference type specifications.
This article is helpful when you are familiar with proper adjustment
procedures and only need specifications. Included in this section are:
* Battery specifications.
* Fluid capacities.

spark plug wires, base ignition timing and idle speed are found in
this section. Use this article for routine maintenance. Also, if you
have a driveability problem, ensure all on-vehicle adjustments are
correct before proceeding with any diagnosis.
