The oilpan of the engine of my Thema IE 16v Pininfarina is dammaged by corrosion. There are at least 3 little holes in it. I want to fit the pan of a 8V engine. Does anyone know how I can get the oilpan off the the engine? Do I have the get the engine out of the car? There always seems to be something in the way (subframe, engine, gearbox, servo-steeringrack, exhaust).
If anyone has information, please come foreward.
