Hey, you're welcome for the neato help, anytime. It's hard for me to conceive of not being able to determine a bolt size; if you have a set of metric sockets, how is this possible? Not to be to hard on you, but hey, inch sockets on a non-American car? There are some sizes that are really close (14mm = 9/16, for example), but if you're going to work on your car, you've got to get yourself a set of metric tools. Run on down to Sears & get some Craftsman sets; lifetime guarantee, not too expensive.

 

Yeah, I know, I'm a dumb-***...

 

Its only a 10mm socket to remove all the bolts, plus a 5mm all socket to get the two bolts by the transmission. Hit that bitch with a mallet and it will fall off.

t
When installing the oil pan with the engine out of the vehicle, ensure that the oil pan is flush with the cylinder block at the flywheel end.



t
After installing the oil pan, wait for about 30 minutes for the sealant to dry before putting in engine oil.














Installing
Note[/align]


The oil pan must be installed within 5 minutes after applying the silicone sealant D 176 404 A2.









–
Cut off nozzle on tube at front marking (nozzle diameter approx. 3 mm).



Thickness of sealant bead: 2-3 mm
Note[/align]


The bead of sealant must not be thicker than 3 mm, otherwise excess sealant will enter the oil pan and obstruct the strainer in the oil intake line.









–
Apply silicone sealant to clean sealing surface on oil pan as illustrated. Illustration shows position of sealant bead on cylinder block.
Note[/align]


Apply sealant bead with particular care around rear sealing flange (arrows).



–
Install oil pan immediately and bolt to cylinder block. Start by tightening all bolts by hand.



–
Tighten 3 bolts securing oil pan to transmission.



–
Tighten bolts securing oil pan to cylinder block in two stages in diagonal sequence.

 

Oops, fu**ed the pics up, here ya go. Make sure you get all the silicone off like in pic one or your gonna have one hell of a leak.

 

I have an 06 a4 2.0t I'm having trouble getting the oil pan to separate from the block I've removed all bolts and everything is clear of the oil pan if u have any tips or if there is something I'm missing please let me know thank u

 

Anyone got tips on the removal procedure for an AVK 3.0? I've got the 19bolts for the lower off. I need to remove the upper and it seems I'm obstructed by the oil pump. What's the best way to remove the upper ? Thanks
