I found out I have a bad oil pan in which the drain plug wont go in on a 2010 xb with 136,000 plus miles

 

REDACTED

 

I'm with Pyro, something had to happen to the pan or the threads for the drain plug have been cross-threaded. Either way it's an easy fix, just order a new pan and replace it. I would try to find out what happened though.

 

Vague. Tell us more please.

Do you take it in for oil changes (i.e. Dealer or Jiffy Lube) or do it yourself? Do you keep records of service if you take it in? If you take it somewhere and can show records you may be able to get them to cover it

 

I would like something like the Panzer Plate that is available for VWs.

 

I've never had an issue with coming even close to my oil pan... don't know what you guys are doing wrong.
I don't see a 'Panzer Plate' being necessary unless you're driving over land mines.

 

I have some plate........maybe I'll crawl under the XB this weekend and see what I can come up with. I don't personally need one, but my wife does scare the hell out of me when she drives it. She has a habit of forgetting it's lowered.

 

i busted a 2inch hole in my lowered tc2 oil pan, hit a rock one night. id like to see some sort of undercariage protection made for the tcs. if youre lowered its def a must have. lots of unexpected road hazzards.

 

Maybe you should post something in the tC2 forum...
