After New TB installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsY-VY5Biqk
I bought this A6 wrecked. Had undercarriage damage. Didn't think it was that bad, but previous owner ran car with no oil after he wrecked it. Found a rock lodged in oil feed tube to piston after I took everything apart. Rod bearings went bad. So I was forced with taking the engine out. This is after I fixed all the body damage. Enjoy.
Fully put together, the fun may now begin.
After I took the radiator support off.
Front, with bottom oil pan off.
Air filter box and Air Distributor taken off. Also my fuel lines.
Undercarriage unscrewed and all sensors. Ready to be pulled.
All of this work was done when the temp outside was 94 degrees!
But it was all fun and totally worth the experience! A lot of pictures I forgot to take so a lot of steps are skipped in between the photos posted.
The beginning of the day with the motor attached.
Detaching sensors and turbo heat shields (didn't disconnect turbos anyways though)
Next was to unbolt the drive line from the tranny. We decided it'd be easier this way. Also when you're down there, unbolt your exhaust system at the catalytics.
Unbolting the shift linkage, on both sides of tranny. (2 sides b/c it's manual. Also my tranny mount was broken!
)
Unbolt both front axles from tranny.
Strapping up the engine, to disconnect the motor mounts, to prevent it from squashing my face.
This picture skips a lot of steps but basically, after you unbolt the main parts, the engine should slide out a little bit, giving you more room to work. At this point you will need to disconnect the 2 heater core pipes, clutch line, and some others. Make sure your ECU is disconnected from the box and just place all the ECU sensors on top of the engine, as shown in the next picture.
Before pulling, make sure all mounts, sensors, exhaust, tranny/drive line, both axles, Shift Linkage (2 if manual), 3 Fuel Lines, A/C hoses, Battery (preferably taken out, freeing the Red Positive+ battery cable towards front of engine as it needs to be free to pull engine), ECU (and the sensors behind ECU inside the E-Box), Disconnect ground wires, Remove coolant line running under lower oil pan and unbolt other 2 behind oil pan.
Most Important: While pulling engine, do so slowly and watch for any wires or pipes that may be connected! There are always some tricky ones you will miss.
Engine, Tranny, Drive Line, Exhaust to Catalytics.
She is out!
(In this picture: 2 Shift Linkages, Sway bar, Crossmember, 2 Front Axles)

7.10.10
The engine w/ exhaust, tranny, and drive line.
Taking off exhaust from down pipes off turbos.
Exhaust taken off both turbos.
No exhaust, starting to take off tranny to make the engine bare so I can flip it over easily.
Tranny, Exhaust, and Drive line taken off. Called it a day heh.
September 2, 2010 - Finally started working on it again. Had a lot of other things to do besides work on my car.
Just pulled out the crankshaft so I can send it to the shop.
Here she is, all this time, this is what I have been trying to take out.
Here is why it needs the shop. Look at the left how it's scratched, not good. The right one is good.
I found an awesome guide to help with removing the engine as well. The website is:
http://www.vaglinks.com/Docs/Audi/B5...ne_Removal.pdf.
I'd skip page 12 and instead of unbolting the exhaust right at the turbos, it's easier to unbolt from the catalytics.
I hope you all like this! If you have any questions, email me at: [email protected]
Leave any questions or comments!
