Default isnt it also just aluminum? I have to agree, in this case, not much would have saved the pan...
not at speed anyway.

Default Been saying for years this design is crap. Wouldn't take the A4 on a road trip more than 50mi
Someone aftermarket should make a damn steel pan.

I shut it down immediately, so I am pretty sure it didn't seize. They overnighted a pan for me.

Default One positive thing out of this.... the shop that has the car right now is going to.......
build me a custom 3" resonated exhaust with a high-flow cat for $500 and they will do it while they wait for the parts for the pan. Booyah.

Default The first thing I wondered was, "Did the block get wedged because of his lower stance.....
?" So ironic....that sucks...good luck with the repairs...
