<< Does anyone have a repair manual for a 1996 Audi A6 Quattro Avant? If so,
could you scan a couple of pages for me? I am in the process of putting a
new oil pan on mine, and I got the pan off, but can't get the oil pump
housing/cover off to get the old gasket off and put the new one on. I have
all the bolts out, but it won't budge, and I'm not sure if there is a
special tool, or trick that needs to be used to remove it. >>

I have the manual on CD and I'll have a look to see if I can find something that helps and, if so, pass the info along.

Meanwhile, I recall reading someplace (possibly audiworld c4 chassis forum FAQ) there is a hidden fastener for the "upper oil pan" (I think) that needs to be removed to get the oil pump housing/cover off. I'm not sure since I have nmot gone there yet on our '95 A6q avant.

Good luck and HTH!
