This requires a lift to raise the front of the car higher. In a garage, if there is no lift, you will need a jack, as well as strong and high enough supports to install the raised front of the car on them, this will make it possible to remove the engine from under it, lowered to the garage floor.
USEFUL TIP: The engine is very heavy, so we recommend that you have someone help you when removing it.
WARNING: When removing and installing a heavy engine, use only fully functional lifting equipment designed for the appropriate load, and pay particular attention to the correct and secure connection of cables, crossbars, etc. to the engine's transport eyes.
1. For ease of work, remove the hood (see Removing and installing the hood).
2. Reduce the pressure in the engine fuel system (see Reducing pressure in the engine fuel system).
3. Disconnect the wires from the battery and remove it from the vehicle (see Removing and installing the battery).
4. Remove the air supply hose (see Removing and installing the air filter and intake silencer).
5. Remove the air filter (see Removing and installing the air filter and intake silencer).
6. Remove the engine crankcase ventilation system pipe (see Cleaning the crankcase ventilation system).
7. Remove the mudguard and engine crankcase protection (see Removing and installing mudguard and engine crankcase protection).
8. Drain the cooling system (see Replacing the coolant).
9. If you remove the engine for repair, drain the oil from the oil pan (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
10. Remove the cover of the mounting block in the engine compartment (see Removing and installing mounting blocks) and disconnect the engine wiring harness connector from the block connector.
NOTE: The engine harness remains on the engine and will be removed with the engine.
11. Disconnect the ground wire from the body by unscrewing the mounting bolt.
12. Remove the battery mounting shelf (see Removing and installing the battery mounting shelf).
13. Disconnect the two ground wires from the body bracket.
14. Remove the expansion tank of the cooling system (see Removing and installing the expansion tank).
15. Remove the front wheel drives (see Removing and installing the front wheel drives).
16. Remove the air conditioning compressor drive belt.
17. Remove the accessory drive belt (see Checking and replacing the accessory drive belt).
18. Remove the cooling system radiator (see Checking and replacing the accessory drive belt).
NOTE: If the vehicle is not equipped with air conditioning, the radiator does not need to be removed. Simply disconnect the outlet hose from the lower radiator hose.
19. Remove the air conditioning compressor mounting bolts (see Removing and installing the compressor). Without disconnecting the pipelines from the compressor, move it to the side and secure it in any available way (for example, by tying it with wire).
20. Disconnect the power steering pump from the engine, and then, without disconnecting the pipes from it, move it to the side and secure it in the same way as you secured the air conditioning compressor (see Replacing the Power Steering Pump).
21. Using a puller or special tool, compress the clamps and disconnect the fuel supply line.
22. Disconnect the purge hose from the adsorber.
23. Remove the catalytic converter (see Removing and installing the catalytic converter and replacing its gasket).
24. Disconnect the interior heater radiator outlet hose.
25. Disconnect the steam outlet hose, the inlet hose of the interior heater radiator and the inlet hose of the cooling system radiator from the outlet pipe of the water jacket.
26. Disconnect the brake booster and purge valve hoses from the intake pipe.
27. Disconnect the rod from the gear shift lever.
28. Press the lock and disconnect the wiring harness connector from the reverse light switch.
29. Disconnect the clutch release hydraulic line from the clutch housing (see Replacing the Clutch Release Hydraulic Line).
30. Place a reliable support under the engine and remove the rear support of the power unit suspension (see Replacing the rear powertrain suspension support).
31. Attach the lifting gear slings to the front and rear transport eyes and tighten the slings.
32. Disconnect the left and right powertrain supports (see Replacing the left support of the powertrain suspension Replacing the right support of the powertrain suspension).
33. Check again that all wires, hoses and attachments are disconnected from the power unit.
34. Remove the support from under the engine and lower the power unit down to the floor.
35. Raise the front of the vehicle (lift the vehicle on a lift) to a height sufficient to remove the power unit from under the vehicle, and install reliable supports under the body.
36. Remove the power unit from under the vehicle.
37. Install the engine, as well as all removed units and parts in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following: - before installing the power unit, clean the threaded holes for fastening its supports from rust with a tap; – be sure to replace the catalytic converter gasket with a new one; – when connecting wires and pipelines, carefully ensure that they are correctly positioned in the engine compartment, avoiding contact with heating and moving elements of the power unit.
After installing the engine, do the following.
1. Fill the engine with oil (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
2. Fill the gearbox with oil (see Changing the oil in a manual transmission or the working fluid in an automatic transmission).
3. Fill with coolant (see Replacing the coolant).
4. Adjust the gearbox control drive (see Adjusting the gearbox control drive).
5. Remove air from the clutch release hydraulic drive (see Bleeding the clutch release hydraulic drive).
6. Start the engine and check for fuel, oil and coolant leaks. Check the oil pressure. Listen to the engine: it should run smoothly, without any extraneous noise or knocking.
