Actually, the 1.8T oilpan isn't easy to replace..
(if that's what you're alluding to). I've not done it myself, but I've seen many a post describing as a PITA. Apparently you can't access all the bolts around the pan easily, something has to be moved/dropped.....subframe IIRC...? I could be wrong, but I'm just going on what other people have said....

if it's only the oil pan than it's fine..but i think there is other suspension damage as wheel.
i think the manhole cover scraped my entire undercarriage. i lost my entire belly pan and both wheel wells.

the ditch was 2" drop (i have pics) and the manhole was a little higher than 2"
there was about a foot between the drop and the manhole. so basically, my car dropped, dipped down..then hit the manhole cover scrapping everything.
