[s-cars] belly pan?

[Wayne Dohnal]

Dave,

When I got my S-car last December it too was missing the belly pan.  I
eventually learned that it's pretty common for them to be gone and a lot of
people drive without them.  I finally got one from the dealer for about $160
and about another $30 for the fasteners.  I find it a big pain to put it on.
It must be a talent I just don't have because other listers have an easier
time with it.  Your next big surprize might be when you go to pull the oil
drain plug, as they have a nasty habit of being seized to the pan.  I
suggest you don't even try to take it out without a 6-point wrench.  Using a
12-point wrench gives a high probability of rounding it off.  Another thing
to check is the after-run coolant pump.  Most of them seem to be inoperative
and/or leaky after they a a few years old.

replaced ASAP? If so, where can I get one. Any Audi boneyards out there?
