Set the control lever to position "P". Remove the water drain box cover. Remove the engine casing. Remove the air filter. Remove the battery and battery bracket. Unlock the lock washer "1" and remove it with an upward movement. Remove the lock washer "3" with an upward movement. Press the selector lever eros "2" away from the shift control lever/shaft in the direction of the arrow - and slightly squeeze it out of the cable support with a backward movement.

Note: The selector lever cable lock washer "3" and lock washer-1 must be replaced. Do not bend or break the selector lever cable. When removing the gearbox, the selector lever cable is removed from the cable support.

If the lock washer cannot be removed without damaging the selector lever cable, you can also remove the cable support from gearbox "2" (remove screws -1-). Touch with your hand (without gloves) to the ground to remove the electrostatic charge.

Unlock connector "1" by turning it to the left and disconnect the connector from the Mechatronic unit.

Caution! Never touch the plug-in contacts in the gearbox connector with your hands, so that static discharge does not damage the ECU and mechatronics.

Disconnect connector "3" of starter solenoid relay "2". Roll back protective cover and unscrew nut "4" of connecting wire on solenoid relay. Disconnect ground wire on lower screw of starter fastening. Unscrew screw "1" and remove starter.

Unscrew all the engine/gearbox connecting screws accessible from above -1, 2 and 4-. For this, if necessary, use the "T10035" attachment.

Note: Tighten screws -3 and 5- securing the starter to the gearbox. Bolt "pos. 4", marked with the letter "A" in the figure, is located in the starter hole and is accessible only after removing the starter. Unscrew this screw using the XZN 14 "T10061" socket. Hot steam escapes when opening the expansion tank. Cover the lid with a rag and carefully open the tank.

When the engine is warm, the cooling system is under pressure. Before disconnecting the coolant hose, slowly turn the expansion tank cap to relieve the pressure first. Place a lint-free cloth on the transmission oil cooler and gearbox to collect any leaking coolant. Mark the coolant hoses to the transmission oil cooler to prevent incorrect connection during installation.

Disconnect the "2" connector. Remove the screws "1" and disconnect the coolant valve for gearbox "N488". Squeeze the coolant hoses with hose clamps-MP7-602 (3094)-. Open the arrow hose clamps and remove the hoses from the transmission oil cooler. Cover the transmission oil cooling radiator openings with clean plugs. Remove the caps of the threaded connections of the front shock strut cups.

Install the T30099 retaining device together with the other components as shown in the figure. Lightly tighten the engine/gearbox unit on the hooks, but do not lift it. Loosen the front wheel bolts. Raise the vehicle. Remove the front wheels. Remove the lower engine noise-insulating casing.

Remove screws "1" through "3" and remove the casing assembly.

Unscrew nuts "2" of bracket "1" on the oil pan and remove the bracket from the studs.

Note: The studs are welded to the oil pan at the front of the gearbox. Unscrew the lower nut from below after removing the noise insulation.

If present, remove the lower protective cover "A" of the gearbox "see arrows". Disconnect the exhaust system at the coupling and remove the exhaust system bracket from the bracket of the auxiliary units. Tie up the exhaust supply pipe.

Note: The bellows at the front of the exhaust system must not be bent more than 10° to avoid damage.

Disconnect the connector on the wire connector between the accessory bracket and the engine and set it aside. If present, remove the front left ground clearance sensor of the G78 vehicle. Secure the accessory bracket before removing.

Note: If the bracket for the attachments is not fixed, then the chassis parameters must be measured subsequently.

Front wheel drive vehicles

Remove the stabilizer bar strut by unscrewing screws -1, 2 and 3-. Lower the attachment bracket to the maintenance position.

Disconnect the protective screen of the right drive shaft from the "arrow" engine (if available).

All-wheel drive vehicles

Disconnect the lower support of the power unit from the gearbox by unscrewing bolts -2 and 3-. Remove the bracket of the mounted units. Unscrew the nuts "arrows" and remove the heat shield of the right hinge shaft (if available).

Further for all cars

Remove the left and right cardan shafts from the gearbox flange shafts. Tie up the right cardan shaft as high as possible, and move the left cardan shaft back and secure it (without damaging the protective coating).

Note: Do not damage the protective coating on the drive shafts.

Front wheel drive vehicles

Remove the right flange shaft.

All-wheel drive vehicles

Loosen screws -1 and 2- and remove the angular transmission bracket.

Unscrew the "arrow" screws and remove the heat shield "1".

For subsequent installation, mark the relative position of the elastic coupling and the angular transmission flange. Unscrew the cardan shaft from the angular transmission "arrows", holding it with a lever by the triangular flange.

Push the engine/gearbox unit forward slightly (to the front of the body) and disconnect the cardan shaft from the angular transmission.

Caution! Risk of damage to the O-ring arrow - flange of the cardan shaft. Keeping the shaft parallel to the floor, press it as far back and to the right as possible (to the right side of the car). If the sealing ring is damaged, the cardan shaft must be replaced.

Further for all cars

Unscrew screws "1" and "2". Remove console "A".

Then lower the engine and gearbox on the hooks of the holding device -MP9-200 (10 -222 A)- so that a gap of size "a" is formed between the gearbox console and the gearbox support. Size "a" = approx. 70 mm. Install the bracket for the gearbox "3282" on the jack for engines and transmission units "VAG 1383 A".

Align the gearbox mounting brackets with the holes in the adjustment plate -3282/42A-. Screw in the mounting elements as shown on the adjustment plate -3282/42A-. Install the engine and gearbox lift "VAG 1383 A" under the vehicle. The upper arrow on the adjustment plate -3282/42- points in the direction of travel. Align the gearbox mount "3282" parallel to the gearbox. Screw the pin -3282/29- into the gearbox. Secure both mounting elements to the gearbox as shown in the figure.

Secure the gearbox with the "T10038" tensioning belt on the gearbox mount "3282".

Note: The illustration shows the DSG -009 automatic transmission for a "all-wheel drive vehicle". The fastening elements for a "front-wheel drive" vehicle are identical.

Support the gearbox with a jack for engines and transmission units "VAG 1383 A". Unscrew the remaining connecting screws -6... 10- engine/gearbox. Press the gearbox off the unloading sleeves "A". Move the gearbox slightly away from the engine. Lower the gearbox slightly using the engine and gearbox lift "VAG 1383 A". When lowering the gearbox, change the position of the gearbox mount 3282- using the spindles. When lowering the gearbox, remove the gear selection cable from the cable support.
