Premium Cast Aluminum Oil Pan

The URO Premium Cast Aluminum Oil Pan is designed as a robust replacement for the OE plastic oil pan found on MQB platform 1.8T and 2.0T engines. Given that the factory plastic pan can be vulnerable to damage, particularly on lowered vehicles, this aluminum upgrade offers significantly enhanced durability and protection against impacts, thereby preventing potential engine damage and costly repairs. This oil pan is constructed from high-strength alloy aluminum, ensuring a warp-free seal between the pan and the engine block. It comes complete with a steel M18x1.5 CL 8.8 drain plug, which has a recommended torque specification of 30nm or 22 ft-lbs. The installation process is described as a straight swap, replacing the original plastic component with this more resilient aluminum version. It is important to note that this listing is for the oil pan itself and does not include a complete kit. For a full kit, a separate link is provided. The pan is compatible with a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models equipped with 1.8T and 2.0T engines on the MQB platform, including various A3, S3, TT-S, Alltrack, Golf, GTI, Golf R, and Sportwagen configurations from 2014 through 2021.
