Does anyone have a procedure or can direct me to a thread on replacement of the AOS on a Mk1 with the tranny off? I have the tranny off for an IMS retrofit and the AOS is sitting right there. I'd like to replace it while I'm here. I can't seem to locate any info in the WSM either.

Your help would be appreciated!

Just follow the replacement procedure for the AOS. It's the same with or without transaxle, just easier with the unit removed.

Actual procedure turns out to be:

Remove 2 mounting bolts with 10 mm socket on tranny side of AOS ~ 2 minutes

Squeeze collars and pull off large connections ~ 20 minutes

Compress hose clips on the 2 small hoses and move clips off connectors ~ 1.5 hrs

Remove small hoses from AOS ~ 1 minute

Jiggle out AOS and remove via bottom ~ 2 minutes

Hate those small hose clips. They will be replaced.
