Hello
I had a mechanic put a new oil pan. he got it from a VW dealer.
I just had to drain more than a quart of oil out of it. He says he put in 3.8 quarts.
There is a sticker on it that says all the cars it fits and it says nothing about TDI.

It is part # 038 103 601NA
Apllication: Bora/jetta USA (1J2)
Golf IV (1J1)
Gold V (1J1)
New beetle (9C1,1C1)
etc.

Sounds like a pan with a smaller capacity?

here is a picture of it on the car>

That is the right part number.

Did he replace the filter too? If he didn't then there's your extra even though a quart is quite a bit.

Also, often what happens is they think they have a 4.x L jug but in actuality it's 5L (5.3 quarts).

Seen it before. Either way, you have the right pan but someone made a mistake. As long as the oil's out, no harm done.

Does anyone know TDI oil pan dimensions (length and width)? I need at least approximate values (+/- 10 cm)
