Jetta From MY 2011 With 2.0L TDI CR Engine

Transmission, Removing

Short Description

The transmission is remove downward by itself.

Remove the battery, the air filter housing and the starter from above.

Disconnect the coolant hoses from above. Before removing the subframe, the engine and transmission must be supported.

From underneath:

The subframe, pendulum support, steering gear and both control arms are removed together.






If done correctly, the subframe can be removed and installed without the customer experiencing increased tire wear later. It is recommended to read this information prior to removing the transmission. This way, the subframe can be secured and removed correctly.

Locating pins (T10096) and fixation tool (set = 2 pcs) (T10452) will be needed.

If the subframe is not secured by the pins, then late an alignment will be necessary.

In this case, an alignment is unnecessary. It would be a lot of work and an unnecessary charge!

Installing the locating pins (T10096) and fixation tool (set = 2 pcs) (T10452) is simple. It is very useful though.
