    Hello,

    Can someone please post instructions on how to remove a VY V6 engine from the engine bay.
    Basically, what we need to do is change the oil sump. We have an engine crane, but when we lifted the engine it wouldn't lift all the way out!

    Step by step instructions would be great but detatiled pictures aswell would be even better.

    Thanks in advance for your help! =D

    Have you disconnected the engine mounts and the trans or are you attempting to lift them both out at the same time. Or are you having issues with the crane. It going high enough? Have you taken the exhaust off? If it is a height issue on the crane, take the front wheels off and lower the front of the car Down on a jack.

    Hi, yes I'm pretty sure the guys would have done this. Detailed pictures is what I'm after :) But thankyou for replying!
