I am in the middle of taking out my old engine in my MK5 due to internal failure. I am replacing it with another of the same code/year but with lot less miles.

The engine is almost ready to come out, however one thing I am not sure about is the wiring. Is there a main plug where I can disconnect or will I have to remove all sensors separate?

I assumed the main plug was beside the headlight, near the fuse box under the engine bay but it doesn't seem to release much if anything

Any advise welcome thanks

I haven't had to pull a BRM before, but the engine harness should terminate at the ECM under the wiper cowl. You'll want to just disconnect things like the alternator wiring and glow plug harness but the main engine harness should have a large connector into the ECM.
