Thanks for this vid. Really helpful. I have an ‘09 white R50 and I need to get behind the bumper to access one of my horns not working. This clip gives me the confidence to overcome the job I’ve been avoiding this job for a couple of years.
Nice video. Don't forget to change the torque converter seal, it is prone to leak. Do you think this is the easiest way to change the timing chain? I've seen some people dropped the transimission only while the engine was still intact in the engine bay. And some pulled out the engine from the car without removing the front.
In my opinion, I feel this is the best way to change all of the timing components, which if one component has failed you're going to want to replace all of the timing components which I found out the hard way. I recommend removing the engine oil pan before installing the lower timing cover with the rear main seal. I'm sure it's possible to install it without removing the oil pan, but the chances of damaging the rear seal is high. Also, installing the intake manifold on the 3.6 is a challenge in itself with the way the lower fuel rail sandwiches the intake manifold, it's much easier to do with the complete engine out. Thanks for watching & thanks for the comment!!!

Have you ever tried taking only the motor out? I have a parts car 3.2 and need the motor for a 3.2 conversion in my mk4 Jetta wagon
I haven't yet, but I'm thinking of doing a video of that. I know one of my viewers just did and they said it wasn't too bad.

Is that ea390?
Not sure what you mean?
@@mountainviewsgarage what engine is it
Oh ok, it’s the BHK 3.6L vr6, which I believe is the ea390. That’s the first time I’ve heard of that engine code.
