I'm pulling the engine tonight on the "new" (to me) 83, I just bought. Anywords of wisdom. The last VW engine I pulled with the tranny (A1s and A2s excluded) was a 69 square back 20 years ago. With the D jetronic frying valves on a regular basis I got quite adept at pulling that engine. Bentley is rather non descriptive on this issue. Do I need to remove any engine tin? Where do I need to place the jack. Where is the center of gravity. Any and all help is greatly appreciated,,
