many garages use a sump pump which extracts the old oil from the dip stick pipe ( not the best way by any means ) but if they do it while flushing then it better than the drain plug because it get all the crap out ( expensive dealer toy ) and you pay for it, you could heat the drain plug till the weld crap breaks up but then your left with the problem that the other guy had so you will need to retain the hole and fit a new bigger plug or helicoil it

I check my oil once or twice a week... The oil (I was told) was changed before the car was auctioned. So far syn. oil looks ok (like it's been there for 5k miles), it isn't dark or burned.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I am taking it to the audi specialists and see if they can help, otherwise I might just to the time- sert or new pan.
