Things to do while engine is out - rocker8742 - 22-06-2014
So while the engine is out of the gti what is it going to be worth doing
Cambelt + waterpump is obvious
Engine mounts
Check top mount cup
Gear linkages
Fluids and filter
Clutch
Anything else that will be much easier with the block and box out basically and anything I might forget for the swap

Clutch cable, fork bushes and de-AC if not already done.

Or repair AC!
Why does everyone hate AC!

Degrease and remove rust unless your lucky and have missed out on the tin worm
Clutch cable as said and the bush's+shaft as these wear too and make a huge difference, AC is lovely in this and all weather's

Clean the subframe so it's gleaming
Don't see it but makes it so much nicer to work on when your not covered in shit upto the arm pit

Why all the AC hate, mine works perfectly as it is
anyone got the part numbers for the clutch bushes and shaft? Good shout on the subframe Danny

Its a 306, I just assumed the AC would be f*cked!
I certainly don't hate it....in fact that's one of the reasons I'm not getting another 306...AC and pollen filter ftw!

Clean the bay as said, have a check of brake lines. Not doing headgasket?

Nah will replace the engine and then decide what to do with the old one after I strip that down and see what damage was done as and when I get chance
