If you are not already familiar with the asembly and disassembly of VW sedan components such as engine and transmission removal and replacement, we suggest that you purchase "All About The VW" by Elfrink or "VW Handbook No. 4" by Clymer. These books are available from EMPI. The average assembly time is sixteen hours, assuming transmission, engine, and front axle are o.k. and all parts are available, clean, and ready to assemble. We suggest you take inventory to be sure all parts are on hand.
