5V X 6 cylinders = 30V

You have a 30V. The covers just tell you how many valves per cylinder.

Well as i mentioned, all audis have to be towed on a flat bed.
the towing company just wanted to take my car and were careless, they towed it with the one that lifts both front wheels . While the things were going inside, they have to lock up- and close to the wheel, i guess while it did that it put pressure on the oil pan. then When i went to pick it up because i had to call another towing company to take it out , they brought a flat bed and I asked him about it. Whenhe responded, he saidit is like 90 percent that it was the first towing company foult for puncturing the pan.

ill post pics so you can see what kind of hole they made

the fact that its a quattro means it needs a flat bed...if that idiot actually started to tow your car there would have been all kinds of problems

try shokan.com for the part. it should be the towing co.'s responsibility to repair the car, the damaged it by being careless. towing an awd car by the front wheels. you better make sure nothing else is f'ed up!

Part number for lower oil slump with opening for oil level sensor: 078103604AA

You can get it from AF's sponsor www.germanpartsonline.com. Cost about $125, you may need a new oil pan gasket as well.
Check out the damage before you order parts! You should also have your quattro checked out for damage.
Depending on how far they towed your car; it could be damaged as well! Worth looking into if you ask me...
