as above

looked at the bentley & vag booklet for a jx etc, everything fine there & understood.

will i be able to remove the engine with the camper on a pair of ramps , will these be high enough? or are we talking sump off?

i was hoping to use a motorbike lift platform which is very low to fit under large bike etc for lowering the engine etc.

thanks in advance as always

Hello, i removed mine(with ancillaries removed first) last year on the garden without ramps or raising the van, i lowered it onto a sheet of ply and pulled it out from under the van. I'm not sure if it would go with ancillaries still in place.

when you say ancillaries . what did you remove?

To answer your first question, yes ramps are high enough without having to remove the sump. We use a trolley jack with a wooden cradle to lower the engine.

Hi Titus thanks for the reply, Did not want to start & find it will not come out. when you say cradle i take it you mean some sort of wooden board & rope?
