Replacing Oil Pan on 1G TSi

[sleepydsm]

A nice bead is all you need. Something I have done myself is lay a bead, and then gently spread it out on the surface of the pan leaving a nice layer, not too thin. And DO NOT get a lot of RTV on the bolts, you can hydrolically lock the bolt and possible screw the threads up more. If some are stripped, try just running a proper tap (M6x1.00 I think) and try threading in a bolt. If it seems to feel good, just let it be then. Might even have to helicoil some of the holes.
