MV6 engine swap
« on: 13 October 2009, 18:06:27 »
I am about to replace the engine in my MV6 for another unit as mine has had it, any advice would be appreciated. It is a manual and I was going to try and leave the AC system un-touched by removing AC pump and leaving it in position when I remove the engine if this can be done.
Any advice would help.
Thanks Craig

never changed a v6. straight 6 diesel needed rads removed.  Again, on diesel, was easier to remove engine/gearbox as one unit.

Autos and manuals have a difference in a bearing on back of engine - one has the bearing, one doesn't.  Apparently easy enough to add or remove this bearing though

Personally I would leave the air con pump where it is in its bracket, undo the air con pipe with the circlip and at the condensor much easier  :y

Try removing the pump, pretty sure you will wish you hadn't though :D
