Oil Pan Lower Section, Removing And Installing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi Q3 and 2023 Audi Q3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are plastic ribs on the oil baffle that deform permanently when tightening the oil pan lower section. The plastic ribs ensure the oil baffle has no play and does not rattle. Because of this, always replace the oil baffle.
