oil pan replacement cost ?? (2001 A4 1.8T QMS)
here's the story:
so they only plow half of our work parking lot so when i came in this morning OF COARSE i had to hit the un-plowed part to do a few donuts...
well, coming out of it, when i went over the mound of snow from the plow-line into the plowed part of the lot it was so frozen i rode up on top of it then dropped down pretty hard...
i knew it was bad news....
well, 8 hours later i get in the car and my oil light comes on...
back it up 3 feet and sure enough... there's my oil sitting in the parking lot under my car...
so i filled it up, bought a case of oil and have an appt. for saturday
(there's no way i'm working on this on my own in this temperature... SUX !!!!)
i'm assuming at this point a bent/cracked oil pan..
any other likely suspects ??
what should i expect from the dealer for a new oil pan and labor ?? estimate.... ??

If the 1.8T is anything like the 12v it is not a hard job. The question is...
...how much is actually damaged? If it's just the lower oil pan, spend $200 and do it yourself
I don't remember exactly, but I don't think you even need to drop the front sway on the 1.8T to do it (On an AEB.) I could be wrong though.
