How long to remove and reinstall 1.6 diesel engine in 92 Golf?

I've got a 92 VW Golf with a bad 1.6 turbodiesel engine. I know where I can get a replacement engine. I am curious as to how long it would take to remove the old engine and reinstall the replacement engine? I believe the transmission has to come out too, correct? How long to remove and reinstall 1.6 diesel engine in 92 Golf?Take it to a garage and let the experts do it. If you don't have access to a ramp you are going to struggle especially if you have not done one before. My uncle died under a car when it fell on him because he did not have the proper equipment. Good luck if you do it yourself. Don't forget to double check you have disconnected everything when you drop the engine. It's no fun trying to disconnect a hose or wire when the engine is pulling on it.How long to remove and reinstall 1.6 diesel engine in 92 Golf?Depends how well you are set up. What kind of tools and equipment you got. I worked on Rabbits(basically same thing-just a different name). If you get a repair manual from the library, it speeds things up considerably. You will note that the engine is dropped down under the car, not out through the top.

It works that much faster. You lift the body off over it.



That is the way they build them, why do it backwards and try to lift it out through the top?

I am not well equipped but managed to drop the motor and trans and pull the body out of the garage in 3 hours by myself alone no major rush with hand tools with 2 scissor jacks and 1 screw jack and a transmission jack.(That was a turbodiesel as well)...Make sure the exhaust manifold bolts are on tight before reinstalling.



It all comes out in one chunk. I had more fight with the exhaust "C" clamps than anything else.

You GOT to have metric sockets and wrenches. DON'T even consider it if you only got vise grips.

Axles got to come off completely from the transmission and from the wheels.



If you are by yourself, give yourself the weekend. Personally, I like a beer break here and there. You can do it in a day.How long to remove and reinstall 1.6 diesel engine in 92 Golf?since you have to ask I'll assume you are a novice. A shop could do it in one day, or should be able to do it in a day. It will probably take you three to four days with the help of a friend. be sure to mark electric connections and differ length bolts with a number of differ colored paint markers.
