<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19741/part.jpg"></center><p>2001, 2.7t. Front of engine. looks like a sensor or switch mounted to bottom of oil pan in a recessed area. mounts with 3 bolts and has a wire and coneector coming out of it. Likely need a gasket, but Bently doesn't even show the part...thus, I cant ask for it! Looks like my sister may have bottomed out on something during recent visit and borrow of car...grr.
