Default the Canyons parking lot effed me over. anyone have a B6 A4 1.8t oil pan?

basically leaving the parking lot on saturday there was snow and snow piles/banks everywhere. just driving through a pile right in the middle of the lot, i snag a watermelon sized rock. smacked right into the oil pan's oil drain flange. ripped the line right out of the pan.

so just wondering if anyone has a pan lying around or know of one for cheap.

or if anyone know's if the 2001 A4 pan is compatible? i know it will bolt up to the 06a block. just not sure if it has the same subframe clearance as the B6's.....?

thanks guys!

-Sean

Default Sorry - and an other reason why I do not lower my cars - but not sure it would have made a

difference here.

Default I have one on the R32 that has saved me numerous times.

Do they make one for a B6?

Default Sucks man. I'm headed there Fri, hope it doesn't make it two B6 1.8t oil pans:) I have that...

Panzer plate for my B5, I should actually install it! I also hate the steepness and transition of the dips going into the Canyons lower parking lot, tough not to scrape.
