[Biturbos4] cracked oil pan on A4 2.8L

[robert weinberg]

hi all,

quick question,

my fiance has a 97 A4 2.8L qauttro. her mechanic said
the oil pan is cracked. needs a new one. $140 for the
pan 3 hours for the labor. so, about $375-400 all said
and done. i've been quoted 3 hours to change the leaky
pan gasket on my sho. so, it's in the ballpark.

question is, do these things crack often? i've seen
maybe a couple drops from her car now and then.
nothing huge. i'm sure the guy's on the level, just
sort of a wacky thing to happen. big rock?

see ya,
Robby
