not sure if anyone has covered it, but, put it in gear and shake f**k out of it whilst pulling.
not very technical, but worked for me twice.
i didnt think of that i will give all these a try tonight
when i get in and let you all know how it goes cheers again
-
have you removed the tunnel adaptor below the fusebox, there are some bell housing to engine nuts behind here.
yep done those ones and the two by the clutch slave cyclinder
-
try to either view some pics of a seperated engine and gear box or check a haynes manual or similar as there are som difficult to find bolts at the top otherwise you may have a vacume between the engine and box causing them to stick together so maybe a carefull bit of prizing and hard shaking may help due to both parts being oily bits a cant see that they would have corroded together so i recone you must have missed a bolt
i think i might have cause when i was moving the engine about the box was moving with it i just got to find it
-
ive taken engine mounts off,gearbox tunnel,all the exhaust as making a side exit,and ive taken off all the water pipes and fuel lines and wiring
but the engine and gearbox seem to be held together by something rather than being a pain are there any more bolts/nuts im missing
all the ones ive taken off are just nuts and washers you mention a bolt where abouts is that cheers again steve.
sorry yes leaving gear box in truck
-
hi there i did mine a couple of weeks ago and there was no issue of getting it out i found getting the new engine back to the gearbox a bit more tricky but easy enough. are you leaving the gearbox in the truck? if yes basically engine mount (2) radiator hose, fuel line, battery connection on starter motor, earth from engine to chassis, turbo air intake, exhaust down pipe there's a 17mm bolt which hold it to the engine as well and bellhousing bolt make sure you get all out there are some which are well hidden. i've remove the floor and gearbox tunnel makes life so much easier only takes an extra 30mins to remove them. a bit of lifting it should pop out no need of rocking etc. if you are stuck don't hesitate to ask

hi im having trouble seperating my engine from my gear box (19j engine Lt77 gear box)
so far i have undone all the nuts i can find on the flywheel housing (gear lever tunnel removed)
all fuel lines oil cooler pipes and exhaust all removed

and alot of lifting lowering shacking rocking and swearing still no joy so if any one can shed some light on my situation that would be great as i wanna get the 200 in by the weekend.

thanks for all the feed back guys i have had a chat with the boss (wife) and a tdi is a go and thanks western for the link about 300tdi its means i can look for both 200 and 300 and the zoo zoo engine is abit of a job but only with the exhaust as the turbo is on the other side of engine
-
i think you right western but gotta get permission before for the boss (wife) and what are views on the zoo zoo 2.8td lump and would it not be worth doing the piston rings and finding out cheers steve
-
hi all my engine is playing up ive replaced fuel injectors injector pipes and the boost diaphram and still getting the same oil blasting out from the turbo down pipe and the engine smoking(blue smoke)and running away with its self
does this mean new engine or could i get away with just a top end rebuild
-
cheers for the link western and thanks for the help les i will let you know how it goes cheers again steve
-
is the bumper new or original as i bought a new one which has two plates welded inside the channel one either side of the mounts to bolt to the chassis
-
where can i find that les on the engine
and easy diy job cheers steve -
hi les and also there is diesel in the turbo pipes and the turbo smells of it to so i would assume that it is not the turbo but more along the lines of the engine being the problem
cheers steve
and easy diy job cheers steve
