• Adapter (10-222 A/13) (GTI only)

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Torque Wrench (40-200 Nm) (V.A.G 1332)

• Bracket for Engine (10-222 A/1) (Eos only)

- With the ignition turned off, disconnect the ground cable - arrow - from the battery.






- Remove the battery.

- Remove the battery tray bolts - arrows - and tray.






- Install the engine support bridge (10-222 A) using the following special tools:

GTI:






• Adapter (10-222 A/13) (Qty: 2)

• Bracket with spindle and hook (10-222 A/10) (Qty: 2)

• Shackles (10-222 A/12) (Qty: 2)

Eos:






• Bracket for engine (10-222 A/1) (Qty: 2)

• Bracket with spindle and hook (10-222 A/10) ( Qty: 2)

• Shackle (10-222 A/12)

• Do not place the bracket for engine (10-222 A/1) on the fender panels. The panels will be damaged.

• The shackle (10-222 A/12) is needed to make sure the engine is lifted in the installed position and not tipped.

Continuation for all Vehicles:

- Support the engine with the transmission but do not lift it.

- Replace the engine mount to engine mount bracket bolts - arrows - one after the other if this was not already performed when the engine was installed and tighten them by hand.






Vehicles with a Manual Transmission:






- Replace the transmission mount to transmission mount bracket bolts - arrows - one after the other if this was not already performed when the engine was installed and tighten them by hand.

Vehicles with a Automatic Transmission:






- Replace the transmission mount bracket to transmission mount bracket bolts - arrows - one after the other if this was not already performed when the engine was installed and tighten them by hand.

Continuation for all Vehicles:

- Loosen the engine and transmission mount bolts approximately 2 turns.

- Adjust the engine/transmission mounts and hand tighten the bolts.

• There must be a distance of at least 10 mm - a -present between the engine mount bracket - 2 - and the right longitudinal member.






• The casting edge on the engine mount bracket - 2 - must be parallel to the engine mount - 1 -.

Vehicles with a Manual Transmission:






• On the transmission side, the edges of the transmission mount support arm - 1 - and transmission mount - 2 - are parallel.

• Dimension - x - is the same size on both sides of mount.

Vehicles with a Automatic Transmission:






• On the transmission side, the edges of the transmission mount support arm and transmission mount - B - are parallel.

• Dimension - x - is the same size on both sides of bracket.

Continuation for all Vehicles:

- Tighten the engine/transmission mount bolts to specification. Refer to => [ Engine and Transmission Mount Overview ] Service and Repair.

Further installation is performed in reverse order.
