High-strength steel engine oil pan with corrosion-resistant coating and 3-quart capacity for Audi and VW

The Engine Oil Pan (Lower) with OEM reference number 06E103604K is a verified direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles equipped with the 3.0L Supercharged/TFSI and 3.2L V6 engines. This lower oil pan is a critical component of the engine lubrication system, serving as the reservoir that holds engine oil and ensures proper oil circulation to all moving engine parts.

This OE-spec replacement pan is manufactured from high-strength steel with a durable corrosion-resistant coating, making it ideal for withstanding impacts from road debris. As the lowest point in the engine bay, the oil pan is particularly vulnerable to damage from objects on the road.

• Audi 3.0L Supercharged V6 (EA837/EA839) — commonly found in S4, S5, Q5, SQ5, and A6/A7/A8 models
• Audi 3.2L V6 (EA837) — found in A4, A5, A6, Q5 models
• Volkswagen 3.0L V6 (EA837) — found in Touareg Hybrid models

When to replace your oil pan:

• Oil leaks — visible oil puddles under the vehicle or oil residue on the underside
• Cracking — visible cracks in the pan from impact damage
• Drain plug thread damage — stripped or worn threads preventing proper sealing
• Impact damage — the pan has struck a road hazard, curb, or debris
• Corrosion — rust or corrosion compromising the pan's structural integrity

Installation Guidelines (Reference Audi/VW workshop manual for complete steps):

1. Safety first — allow engine to cool completely before starting work
2. Drain engine oil completely — capture for proper disposal
3. Remove the old oil pan mounting bolts (19 bolts total)
4. Carefully remove the old oil pan — note the position of any gasket or sealant
5. Thoroughly clean the engine block mating surface — remove all old gasket material and sealant
6. Inspect the oil pickup tube for debris or damage
7. Apply new sealant — this pan does not include a gasket; use Audi/VW-approved sealant (e.g., D 174 003 M2)
8. Position the new oil pan on the engine block
9. Install and torque all 19 mounting bolts to manufacturer specification in the correct sequence
10. Install the new drain plug and torque to specification
11. Refill with the correct engine oil and quantity (3 qt capacity + filter)
12. Start engine, check for leaks, and verify oil pressure

Pro Tips:

• Always use a new drain plug and washer (included with this assembly)
• Use only Audi/VW-approved sealant — improper sealant can cause leaks
