hi mate cars coming along really good, im removing engine, did you have to get aircon gas refilled an why you have to connect loads of electrical wires together? thankyou
Was no gas in mine lol, but not botherd to do it till summer just dont plug the A/C clutch in wen you put it back in to stop it kicking in. Also my wiring is due to me replacing coil pack loom. Irrelivent if yours is ok.
Best way is 1st strip gearbox side down, air box out, battery, battery tray,all plugs on that side, live off starter, brackets off starter motor, plug off solenoid, water flange off, Clutch hose, gear cables, earths. tip off, then take injectors out or fuel hoses off which ever way you want, PAS reserviour off, coolant tank off move carbon canister out the way, charge pipe off, then remove bumper, headlights, and crash bar, undo bottom hose, remove 2nd water pump, unplug all connections to fans, remove bonnet cable/latch, then remove the a/c hoses (5mm allen) try not to breather the gas in, then remove slam panel as 1. Lower intercooler pipe, i took intercoolers off, Throttle body hose and map pipe, then remove aux belt, PAS pulley, and remove pump with hoeses on, saves disconecting everything, front wheels off and remove the drive shaft bolts (m10 spline) dogbone mount, and now it should just be 2 engine mounts and DP. remove all plugs, injectors, CA sensor, CS sensor, EGT sensor, coil pack plugs, N249, VVT solenoid, AC plug, Alternator wires, Throttle body plug, IAT plug, Knock sensors, etc and move the loom to passenger side out the way, Remove DP 3 X 17mm nuts and leaver it off studs gently, remove hoses to heater matrix, and then take weight of engine and remove 4 X 18mm engine mount bolts, 2 X drivers, 2 X passenger side and its free to pull out, drive shafts will just come out no need to remove ball joints etc. Took me 6 hours on me own with a few coffee breaks.
Just rebuilt starter motor 2 hours ago with new solenoid as mine as goosed.

ok thankyou, ive brought a new engine with bottom end knock so im going to rebuild it with stronger parts cause once have hybrid fitted back on was thinking of nos an want engine to be as strong as possible , if i want to keep aircon gas then guessing should just pull pump to one side once removed from engine, also is there a ekectrical plug beetween engine an rest of car or does it all need to come off every part of engine, thankyou
Not really as its unplug the ecu job then, the plugs are easy, only 1 will fit one thing took me 10 mins to wire it, also you cant just move the aircon pump to one side as there harder pipes and you will stuggle like hell to get engine out. re-gas is better as you know its been done
the gas wont kill you, just makes you feel pissed, my pump kicked in and **** some gas out and im still here, best way is remove a pipe and go have a brew so the gas vents away, not the best way in terms of enviromental health but its upto you.
If you put it in a plastic bag and breathe it maybe or but the hose in yor mouth, but otherwise it wont instantly kill you or give you cancer etc. As said try not to breathe it in, if its a freshly gassed system then i reccomend geting it emptied but if it hasnt been done more than likely running low on gas anyway.

ok cheers mate, will repeort on how doing but cant move car at min due to al the snow on the bugger :-( also is it easy to time the engine
ps sorry about all questions
ps sorry about all questions
No probs mate, and if its 1st time then alot of swearing will happen as they are quite tought between pulleys, best way is to remove the small idler pulley, get belt on and slot it back in then release hydraulic tensioner. My thread has pics of timing belt. Use them for refrence if you like mate and see how i stripped the sides down etc.
