The mk4 aluminum oil pan has a better oil distribution baffling blah stuff. the steel ones dont. However, comma, if you are low and scrape a lot then I wouldnt recommend the aluminum ones. Steel is a lot sturdier. Just get whatevers available imo.
Okay so I removed the oil pan and it took me about an hour, thanx to not having the right tools. Man does that engine surprise the phuck out of me. 200,000 miles and almost no gunk or nothing on the rods and crank and other stuff.
Shop told me it was \"still holding a little bit of oil\" when they got it so they didn't suspect major engine problems. They also replaced the side rocker panel for another $400 (which seemed unneeded). Seems like the only things they actually did as far as the oil pan goes are replace the oil pan and replace the oil pan gasket.
My friend in high school cracked the oil pan in his Jetta twice. Is there something about these cars that makes them more vulnerable to catching the oil pan on things?
Is that the 2.8L? mine busted 8 times, there was so much jb weld on the oil pan when I was done. Terrible design by Audi.
Worst part is the plastic oil pans, I guess VW didn't put 2 and 2 together with all of their other plastic parts failing miserably...
