Oil pan leaking FML
Can you do the oil pan gasket with the motor all bolted into the car or what? It looks like its gonna be a tight squeeze to get the pan down. My pan is dented in the bottom so I wanted to do a canton pan and new gasket because of the leak and dent. Just wondering how big of a job it is and what I need to do.

undo motor mounts, lift on motor....
loosen 6 K member bolts and allow it to drop...
just enough room to get pan out...

You can do the pan with the motor in the car, without dropping the K member. Did it last season, alot easier with less work.
Not sure if the canton pan is lower/shaped different, might want to check on that. The stock will come out, and will go in by just unbolting the motor mounts and jacking/hoisting the engine. Make sure you arent crushing anything of course.Last edited by Fixxer99TA; 10-23-2009 at 05:12 PM.

Yep, done it multiple times and once to my own because of some other hacks having it before me (Stripped drainplug and a small leak that crept up).
Not to mention the pan only needs to be dropped down a little to do the repair he describes (just the gasket).Nick

whether or not the pan will come out depends alot on A4/M6. I struggled for hours to get the one out of my M6... i almost couldve dropped the engine in the time i spent.

I have an M6 and I did not have to drop the k-member. it took about 3 hours. make sure to under it again in a few days and make sure all the bolts are still tight.
