Question time:
So, today we removed the wiring, all the gearbox bolts that we could see which where directly connected to the motor etc and weren't able to split it (get the engine free from the gearbox), are there any hints or tips people can give, or things/areas to look at when removing the stock motor? I knew it was going to be tight but it feels like we may have missed something.
Do the gearbox bolts at the top need to be loosened for the engine to give, or am I missing something?
If anyone has the workshop manual on the AUDM01 Bug for engine removal, or can post a link to a good guide (note I love big pictures
), that would be fantastic. I'll be hitting the web for anything I can find, also hoping that the local public library may have a Gregory's or equivalent I can make copies of.
Yes I know its hard to diagnose something like this without looking at it but please feel free to post apprentice stories, stories of your own etc as its probably going to be similar to this issue.
Cheers in advance.
