Help!

Can anyone out there advise how to remove the engine mount bracket which bolts to the timing end of the block?

The issue is that there is just not enough clearance to withdraw the bracket. It fouls against the inner wing. I have tried raising the engine to max height possible (EGR throttle spindle arm fouls against underside of scuttle).

Lowering the engine seems to be no use either.

I am posting this in the hope I have missed something, and that there is someone who has done this job before.

I have latest VW workshop manual version 06.00, and no clues there.

Vehicle has airconditioning which does not help re foul condition. (pipes partly in the way, and limits engine movement in bay).

Thanks for any suggestions.
