radiator cap. Remove intake air duct. On 16-valve engines, remove
intake manifold assembly. On vehicles with A/C, remove trim panel and
lower apron. Remove condenser from crossmember and radiator. Remove
all duct work. Mark and disconnect A/C and cooling fan electrical
connectors. Remove accessory belts.
2) On Golf, GTI and Jetta models, leave A/C hoses attached
and remove A/C compressor. Pivot A/C condenser and compressor to side
of vehicle and secure.
3) On Cabriolet and Scirocco models, remove alternator and
timing belt cover. Remove 3 A/C bracket Allen head bolts behind timing
belt cover. Remove A/C bracket support brace. Remove A/C compressor
bracket bolts. Leave hoses attached and secure A/C compressor with
bracket out of way.
4) On all models, open heater controls. Remove cooling hose
from thermostat housing flange and drain coolant. Remove flange. Mark
and remove all cooling system hoses (as necessary).
5) On Golf, GTI and Jetta models, remove grille from radiator
support. Disconnect electrical connectors at radiator support. Remove
radiator-to-support bolts. Remove radiator support using care not
damage headlights. Remove radiator, fan and shroud assembly.
6) On all models, remove axle shafts from transaxle. See FWD
AXLE SHAFTS article in the DRIVE AXLES section. Mark and disconnect
shift linkage and speedometer cable. Mark and remove electrical
connectors and vacuum hoses (as necessary). Disconnect throttle,
cruise and kickdown cables (if equipped). Leave fuel lines connected
and remove cold start injector and warm-up regulator.
7) Remove fuel injectors and install protective caps and
plugs. Remove rear engine mount. Remove complete transaxle mount. On
Cabriolet models, remove right front tire assembly. Remove right and
left engine mount through bolts.
8) On all models, install engine sling on engine lift hooks.
Carefully raise engine and transaxle out of vehicle. Separate
transaxle from engine (if necessary).
INSTALLATION
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Engine alignment
adjustment is necessary whenever engine is removed or mounts are
loosened. To adjust, loosen through bolt on engine mount "A". Loosen
transmission transaxle mount "B" bolts. Loosen front engine mount and
bracket. See Fig. 2.
2) Lightly rock engine and transaxle to allow position to

shift as necessary. Evenly tighten mount bolts in reverse order of
loosening. Fill fluids to proper level. Adjust clutch pedal (if
equipped). Tighten all bolts and nuts to specifications.

REMOVAL (FOX)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Open heater valve,
coolant expansion tank and drain radiator through lower radiator hose.
Mark and disconnect all heater hoses. Disconnect electric cooling fan
and thermo switch. Remove lower and side radiator mounting bolts.
Remove fan, shroud and radiator. Remove M/T clutch cable (if
equipped).

If you want "TUNE-UP" type information, see D - ADJUSTMENTS
for the adjustment procedures. If you are familiar with the
procedures, but need a quick way to find the specification, go to C -
TUNE-UP SPECS or C - SPECIFICATIONS for the specifications pertaining
to the vehicle.
When diagnosing driveability problems, first go to F - BASIC
TESTING. This article is here to help eliminate wasted diagnostic
time. If the basic systems are working properly, go to G - TESTS W/
CODES.
If the vehicle still is having a driveability problem or if
the vehicle has no self-diagnostic system, go to H - TESTS W/O CODES.
This article will help you diagnose the problem by symptom, locate the
symptom exhibited by the vehicle, and inspect or test the items which
may be causing the problem.
After finding which specific system or component requires
testing, use the I - SYS/COMP TESTS article to tests the systems and
components. We have also included (when available) pin voltage charts
and sensor range charts. These can be found in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
and K - SENSOR RANGE CHARTS.
Also included in this section are wiring diagrams and vacuum
diagrams. These can be found in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS and M - VACUUM
DIAGRAMS.
When all diagnostic tests have been performed and the problem
has been discovered, it may be necessary to replace or overhaul the
defective part. This information can be found in
N - REMOVE/INSTALL/OHAUL.
The content of each of these articles is outlined below. As a
summary of the driveability diagnosis, see ROUTINE OUTLINE in this
article.
A - ENGINE/VIN ID
This article shows how to identify the model and engine by
its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A model coverage chart shows
each model and engine, the fuel system, ignition system and engine
code. The engine serial number locations are also included in this
article.
B - EMISSION APPLICATION
These charts identify the emission systems and sub-systems
applicable to each model and engine combination.
C - TUNE-UP SPECS
This is a collection of quick-reference type specifications.
This article is helpful when you are familiar with proper adjustment
procedures and only need specifications. Included in this section are:
* Battery specifications.
* Fluid capacities.

Thursday, March 23, 2000 09:44PMFig. 3: Typical Thermostatic Air Cleaner System
FUEL EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM (EVAP)
The EVAP system allows for proper fuel system ventilation
while preventing fuel vapors from reaching the atmosphere. This means
that vapors must be caught and stored while the engine is off, which
is when most fuel evaporation occurs. When the engine is started,
these fuel vapors can be removed from storage and burned. In most
systems, storage is provided by an activated charcoal (or carbon)
canister. See Fig. 4. On a few early systems, charcoal canisters are
not used. Instead, fuel vapors are vented into the PCV system and
stored inside the crankcase.
The main components of a fuel evaporation system are a
sealed fuel tank, a liquid-vapor separator and vent lines to a vapor-
storing canister filled with activated charcoal. The filler cap is
normally not vented to the atmosphere, but is fitted with a valve to
allow both pressure and vacuum relief.
Although a few variations do exist between manufacturers,
basic operation is the same for all systems. Check for presence of
vapor storage canister or crankcase storage connections when required.
Ensure required hoses, solenoids, etc., are present and connected
properly. Check for proper type fuel tank cap. Check for any non-OEM
or auxiliary fuel tanks for compliance and the required number of
evaporation canisters.

exhaust system backpressure is greater than 1 3/4-2 psi, exhaust
system or catalytic converter is plugged.
If a vacuum gauge is used, connect vacuum gauge hose to
intake manifold vacuum port and start engine. Observe vacuum gauge.
Open throttle part way and hold steady. If vacuum gauge reading slowly
drops after stabilizing, exhaust system should be checked for a
restriction.

Basic diagnosis of fuel system should begin with determining
fuel system pressure.
FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT CHECK
Remove fuel tank cap. Turn ignition on and listen for fuel
pump operating sound for approximately 2 seconds. If there is no
sound, check fuse, fuel pump relay, fuel pump and all electrical
connections.
VISUAL CHECK (AFC-DIGIFANT II)
Push air door open, slight resistance should be felt and door
should not bind. Uniform resistance should be felt throughout travel
after slight amount of free travel. No binding should be felt when air
door is released.
VISUAL CHECK (CIS-E & CIS-MOTRONIC)
Move sensor plate slowly upward. Sensor plate should have
slight resistance from control piston adjusting lever. No binding
should be felt. Let sensor plate fall. There should no resistance.
Slight fuel seepage past control piston is acceptable.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
WARNING: ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel
injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact
engine or electrical components.
