i have searched the forum for a DIY but i have come up with nothing. i am removing the old motor today and would love to see a post with some tips. does any one have a link?

thanks.

 

your lawn mower engine? a chevy 350? a honda? what old motor?

 

my 1999.5 a4 1.8t engine.

 

im a little curious...what are you swapping in?

 

straight swap, but i dont know where to start. do i drop it out the bottom or pull it out the top... etc...

please assist.

thank you.

 

assuming you dont own a bently or even hayes repair manual and you dont seem to have the slightest idea how to do this, i would say you shouldnt be doing this in the first place.

however, you need to put the car into service position. the engine comes out the front so you need to remove everything in front of it. then just start removing bolts, it will eventually come out. if you see something holding it in, remove it. you really need a repair manual to know the difference between which bolts can be reused and which bolts need to be replaced every time, and which gaskets you will need to replace.

 

ok that sounds good. no i don't have a Bentley, yes i have done this before just not on an audi. one last question is do i need to evacuate the a/c system?

thank you.

 

never mind, the engine is now out. thanks?
