2012 Volkswagen CC engine removal, actual time

2012 vw cc engine removal step by step in actual time

[@geriatricginger]

Earned a sub. I have to do this soon to my '11 CC, and replace rings and bearings. Car sat for 3 yrs with a broken tensioner, and when I got it and fixed it, it started having severe blow-by/crankcase pressure, so it's pushed the rear seal out. Time to ring/bearing/re-seal the engine. This makes me feel much better about the task.

Great video brad. I’m taking out a 2015 VW beetle 1.8L (EA888 gen3) so it matched what you were doing with only minor exceptions. This was exactly what i needed! Thx for making!

Hey, we’re at the end of our job and we’re stuck on removing the axle. Any additional tips you could offer on separating axle from the trans? Using a screwdriver and pry bar don’t seem to be making a dent.

[@CLVannoy]

Can’t you just disconnect the engine harness at the ecu and leave everything plugged up on the engine ?

[@inferno0202]

yep u can, just need to grind the security bolts off

[@CLVannoy]

@@inferno0202 okay thank you also I love you

[@inferno0202]

@@CLVannoy no problem, i did this job a few days ago and just grinded a slit in the bolts to take off with screwdriver

Can I put a 2012 cc in a 08 passat

[@bradsautomotivellc4850]

Not sure honestly

[@bryanpatrick1405]

Where are you located?

[@jahryljacobs828]

Is this a 2.5 engine ?

[@bradsautomotivellc4850]

No it’s the 2.0 turbo

[@bradsautomotivellc4850]

Honestly the process is about the same, I always take the front clip off and take the engine with trans, much easier to separate the engine from trans and easier to mate back together afterwards.

that setup doe... PROPS

Don't show the AC stuff.
