Removing oil pan - A4 1.8T Digest, Vol 4, Issue 103

[Fabryce]

Just  unbolt the engine mounts from the subframe.

Put the car on jack stands, put a jack under the trans and jack it up .

All you need to do is raise the engine about 3 inches.

And you will easily remove the pan..

>I'm about to remove the oil pan on a 1998 A4 1.8T to find out why I have no
oil pressure. Looks like I'll have to drop the subframe to do this and since
the engine is mounted on the subframe

Are you sure?  I don't have an A4 but mounting engine on subframe is highly
unlikely.

I'll obviously have to support the engine while I'm doing it. Anyone who has
BTDT and can offer any words of
wisdom on what to look out for?

Cheap and primitive - a 2x4 set on the 2" side across the fenders
(cardboard, rags under) with a tough rope wrapped around a hook or anything
fastened to the engine will suffice.  BTDT on a MC.  If you want to get
fancier - a metal bar could replce the 2x4 or a chain could replace the
rope.  Come along would do to but it's harder to fit in.
