Mk7 Steel Oil Pan Conversion

Background:

I’ve had the UroTuning steel oil pan conversion kit sitting on the shelf for a few years in case it became needed.

Courtesy of an object in the road, I was forced into an oil change and oil pan replacement.

After a short ride home from the tow truck, it was time to check out the extent of the damage.

Fortunately, it was not too bad but still called for a replacement oil pan.

In addition to the UroTuning steel oil pan, I have a Fel-Pro oil pan gasket.

Before performing the installation, I watched the FCP Euro DIY video on this job to get an idea of what it involved.

The replacement went smoothly, and the new steel oil pan was installed after a couple of hours.
