Removal
Remove the engine hood. Remove the oil dipstick from the guide tube.
Remove the guide tube "1" of the oil level dipstick; to do this, press the locking buttons. Remove the oil filler pipe "2" from the oil filler tank. Remove the inlet pipe with the catalytic converter. Unscrew the bolt "arrow", remove the support with the guide tube for the dipstick to determine the oil level and the oil filler pipe from the oil pan.
Unscrew the "arrow" bolts and remove the heat shield of the right drive shaft.
Disconnect plug connector "1" of the oil level and temperature sensor "G266".
Install an oil extraction device "V.A.G 1782" under the engine and drain the oil. Unscrew the bolts "arrows" connecting the oil pan and gearbox. Crosswise, loosen and unscrew the screws of the oil pan "1". Carefully separate the oil pan from the gluing area.
Installation
Install in reverse order, replacing the O-ring on the dipstick guide tube. Remove any remaining sealant from the oil pan and cylinder block, for example with a rotating brush with plastic bristles. Clean the mounting surfaces: they must be free of oil and grease. Cut off part of the tube at the front mark (hole approx. 2mm).
Caution! Risk of blocking the lubrication system channel if there is too much sealant. The sealant bead must not be thicker than the minimum size.
Apply a bead of sealant "arrow" to the clean seating surface of the oil pan, as shown in the figure. Thickness of the sealant bead: 2.3 mm.
Instructions. Apply sealant especially carefully in the flange area. Install the oil pan within 5 minutes after applying the sealant.
Install the oil pan and tighten the bolts.
Installation is in the reverse order, in this case it is necessary to install the heat shield of the drive shaft. Install the support with the guide tube for the dipstick to determine the oil level and the oil filler tube. Install the inlet pipe with the catalytic converter. Fill with oil and check its level.
