Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• T Bar and Socket 10 mm (3185)

• Hex Ball Socket (T10058)

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Used Oil Collecting and Extracting Device (V.A.G 1782)

• Hand Drill with Plastic Brush Attachment

• Protective Eyewear

• Flat Scraper

• Silicone Sealant (D 176 404 A2)

Removing

- Remove the noise insulation.

- Drain the engine oil.

• Observe disposal regulations!

- Install the insulation on the oil pan.

- Remove the bolts connecting the oil pan and transmission.

- Remove the oil pan.

- Loosen the oil pan with light blows from a rubber headed hammer if necessary.

- Remove any sealant residue from the cylinder block with a flat scraper.


Wear safety glasses.

- Remove the sealant residue from the oil pan using a rotating brush such as a drill with a plastic brush attachment.






- Clean the sealing surfaces. They must be free of oil and grease.

Installing

• Note the expiration date of the silicone sealant (D 176 404 A2).

• The oil pan must be installed within 5 minutes after applying the silicone sealant.

- Cut the tube nozzle at the front mark (nozzle diameter: approximately 3 mm).






• The sealant bead must not be thicker than 2 to 3 mm or excess sealant could get into the oil pan and clog the oil intake pipe strainer.

- Apply the silicone sealant, as shown, to the clean oil pan sealing surface. The sealant bead must be:

• 2 to 3 mm thick

• run around inside of bolt holes - arrows -

- Apply the silicone sealant to the clean oil pan sealing surfaces as illustrated. (The illustration shows the location of the sealant bead on the cylinder block.)






- Position the oil pan immediately and tighten the bolts connecting the oil pan and transmission and all of the oil pan bolts. Make sure the oil pan lies flush on the intermediate plate/transmission flange.

• When installing the oil pan to a removed engine, make sure that the oil pan is positioned flush with the cylinder block on the flywheel side.

- Tighten the oil pan bolts in a diagonal sequence.

• Tightening specification, see - item 23 - in => [ Oil Pump, Pan and Balance Shaft Module Overview ] Oil Pump, Pan and Balance Shaft Module Overview.

- Tighten the oil pan/cylinder block bolts.

• Tightening specification, see - item 21 - in => [ Oil Pump, Pan and Balance Shaft Module Overview ] Oil Pump, Pan and Balance Shaft Module Overview.

- Tighten the oil pan/transmission bolts.

• Tightening specification, see - item 22 - in => [ Oil Pump, Pan and Balance Shaft Module Overview ] Oil Pump, Pan and Balance Shaft Module Overview.

• After installing the oil pan, allow the silicone sealant to dry for approximately 30 minutes. Only after then may the engine oil be added.

Further installation is performed in reverse order.
