**** **** ****!

I was going up a hill slightly too fast and the hill leveled out and I hit the road hard!

I looked underneath today and my oil pan is cracked!

I have a 2001 A4 2.8L

I've found some oil pans already, the part number is: 078 103 604 AA right?

However, i've been unable to find any oil pan gaskets, where can I find this?

Besides parts, how much will labor cost me?

This sucks!

 

should be able to do it yourself. just get the manual.

Anyone one want to buy my old oil pan? I'd have it welded and cleaned of course..

 

Hey, Thanks for your reply!

Is this oil pan ok: http://www.carpartsdiscount.com/auto...tml?3593=31483

I think I'm going to have a mechanic friend come by and do the install for me for a few bones. I don't have the necessary jacks and all required.

 

Hahahaha, I don't mean to laugh, but I did the SAME thing today.

I just shook my head, jacked up the car and began removing stuff. I have it ready to drain tomorrow and I'm running to Audi to grab a new pan. It's not really a fun DIY project, but it saves quite a bit of cash. The subframe has come down, but you can sneak in there if you remove the engine, snub, and trans mounts and jack up the powertrain.

I think we need a DeiselGeek Panzer Plate group buy. http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/Detail?no=375

 

the subframe only needs to be dropped for a 1.8. for the 2.8, only the sway bar needs to come off unless you have a swivel

 

I have done something similar to mine a couple of times now. I live in Colorado and drive on a lot of bad dirt roads to go fishing. If you just drain out your oil and let it sit overnight you can JB Weld whatever crack you have the bext morning. Let your car sit for another 12-24 hours and you're good as new for about $5.

 

i changed mine a few months ago. got it on ebay for $26 and used permatex for the gasket. hasn't leaked yet! good luck

 

haha, love hearin that kind of stuff

 

JB weld as a permanent fix = terrible idea.
