#1: Oil pan removal Author: Sofa.King.Happy, Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2016 8:41 pm ---- Hello. My 206 GTi has a little cracked oil pan. Can anybody tell me how should I remove the oil pan. Is it hard?
#2: Re: Oil pan removal Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 1:24 pm ---- Removing the oil pan can be the easiest DIY,you need to jack the car up,and secure it,so it won't fall over you while working underneath the car,drain the oil from the oil plug,and this can be messy if you don't have the proper container,and then unscrew all the bolts holding the oil pan to the engine block,and you will find it still sticking,you can use a knife or something sharp to cut the silicone seal,as the Peugeot oil pans don't have gaskets,then you need to clean the engine block with scraping tool,not metal,but plastic one,so you don't damage the surface,and you the get a brand new or used oil pan,if new,just apply heat silicone seal on the new oil pan,and reverse the process,if used oil pan,it need to be super clean,so that you don't have any oil leak.
Good Luck

I heard that power steering pump (?) has to be removed before removing oil pan. Is it true? Do I need o remove anyting, or oil pan just comes right off? We're talking about 2.0 GTI engine (EW10J4).

The tricky part is the reassembly, as Timon mentions you need to get the surfaces properly cleaned - i spent a good amount of time getting mine spotless and it still leaks! A good tip from another member on here was to let the sealant dry properly before putting any oil back in. I even made guide pins out of spare bolts to guide the sump on evenly - probably just my bad luck though!

That are great news guys!
Oh, you put the seal, reassembly it and wait throught the night and then pour oil? That is a great idea!
Thanks, I think I'll try doing this next weekend!
