[urq] Need help with P/N ASAP

[Patrick Carlier]

Yes it can be welded .
Takes a reasonable craftsman and a tig welder .
Done it many times on BMW oil pans .
It has to be carefully degreased cause the oil fume when burned will 
interfere with the tig
protecting gas , then the crack has to be  removed with an agle grinder of a 
file to obtain a V-shape ,
and then fill the V with the tig welder and weld it shut .
