2003 vw jetta 1.8 oil pan removal

Asked by mlmnkat Mar 19, 2016 at 04:01 PM about the 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GL 1.8T Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just bought a 2003 jetta 1.8 this oil light flashes
after running for about 10 minutes. Then it starts
making a very loud rattling sound coming from the
motor I was told it was "oil sludge" build up in the
oil pan not allowing oil to get up to the top of the
engine. I m trying to drop the oil pan but having
trouble removing the 12mm triple square bolts
does anyone have any suggestions for please and
thanks in advance

Triple square bolts? A inverted torx, you mean... You have no business performing this work if you can't get past the first fastener.

My boyfriend is having the same problem think he is going to have to drill this last bolt out any suggestions it's just location and the factory or previous owner messed it up but the car has been down for almost a week we have to get it back up for my daughter to get back to college so any help would be appreciated thanks
