I enjoyed the video... this is my first engine removal alone(wish me luck😂)... Scared but not scared....I like that you called out the bolt positions/sizing😊 Thank you for this video as I'll be taking you with me along the process!!

I have a 04 Beetle turbo auto and the engine blew the head gasket. . This good detailed video just made my day. :)

I got an '03 GLS .. 238k miles .. bought in '06 .. alternator seized in '22 .. epc light flicked a few times prior .. thought it was the MAF or Throttle Body, or both .. .. nope, alternator seized up .. thinking of swapping it with an HPA VR6 but 💰💰💰

Is your existing 1.8t bad?

The cylinder head had bent valves, so I replaced the head with one from an Audi A4.
