I thought it was already pretty easy removing these engines (I've done it 5 times now on me and my mate's projects), but this just makes it so much easier, will be doing this when I put my big turbo on, I usually pull the front end, and keep the driveshafts in place, but this looks way easier and less hassle, cheers!
Fantastic video but I think you've inspired me to sell it. Tons of works and parts I can't afford. My MK5 needs a clutch, flywheels, starter, brake issues, motor issues, headliner, wiper pump, new radio and some minor body work for starters even though it was driving not long ago...
Hello I currently have a Golf 5 Gti with the AXX engine mark, I had to buy a new engine with the mark because the old one was broken, I wonder if I can do a swap from a newer year BWE engine?
Mmm I've just pulled two motors out using both methods as AC wasn't an issue for me. But pulling the front end off way by way alot easier and faster. Has previous experience so both were at the same level of knowledge. But yeah recommend front end off makes life sooooo much easier.
I mean if your doing ford xr6 turbo I mwan I just pulled thr motor out with the transmission attached all un do is the wiring loom and engine mounts and off she goes lol looking at my 2007 gti I have no bloody clue hoe it works and its so stuffed in there like I wouldn't imagine the way your foing it to be easier especially when most the people watching your video wouldn6 be very experienced I mean well done though doing it thr longer harder way ehen you could have just unbolted the thr front end took out the intercooler and whatever else in the way and I'd assume wring loom and water things are attached and engine mounts and off she goes.

Interesting, I didn't know pulling it from the front let you leave your drive shafts on. I guess it is not all that much more effort from the front.
ive done a bunch of lower front subframe fwd cars. its amazing to see a top hood raise engine finally. thanks for the confidence!
Brilliant video

I’m not sure what you’re planning to buy instead, but it’s the most reliable car I’ve ever owned.
Great video

I would think so, I would definitely keep all your sensors and injectors off the old one. That is where the changes would lie.
Can you do this with an mk7?
got a mk5 jetta. need to pull the head. thinking of just pulling the engine to do a overhaul in the garage

How, what didn't you remove that I did?
You can take the condensor off and tuck it to the side and still take the front end off.
will a tsi 6 speed transmission fit an fsi 6 speed transmission?
Reckon this would work with a TDI?
I would think so.
