Getting ready to complete this job. From what I have found on the forum already this seems liked the easist way out through the bottom.
Intercooler output to ASV pipe
- Intake adapter to the turbo
- VNT harness
- O2 sensor - I would cut a wrench short or get the VW tool
- Exhaust
- Oil return tube
- EGR cooler to EGR manifold
- EGR cooler; I left the coolant hoses attached so I didn't have to drain my coolant.
A couple questions though. Can I pinch the coolant lines off on the egr enough to keep the coolant in the car so I don't need to refill the system? Also the oil return line when I pull this off will I lose all the oil out of the engine? Should I drain the oil before I start? Does the axle need to come right out or just unbolt the flange, size of 12 point is 10mm?
Anything else I will need or should plan for?
