Re: Belly Pan/Oil Change
"my 2001 EVC comes with an access opening precut - almost exactly as my old 97 EVC." Is this simply a hole or is it a hole with a covering? Peace, Love and Serenity, Madeleine

My wife rear-ended an Econoline, thus attacking its bumper with our engine. She wasn't hurt other than having a sore neck for a few days, but in addition to extensive nose damge, the body shop tells

belly pan
i kind of worry about the pan soaking up a telltale leak before it's noticed in time. the absence of a pan allows me to peek under more often than every oil change. maybe if the sound pad was removed

Re: Belly Pan/Oil Change
Its such a bad idea that VW decided to do it on the later production dates of 2000 and all 2001. So much for that theory. Baldy

Re: Belly Pan/Oil Change
the I had a mechanic cut an access opening on my 95 EVC, then the same procedure on my 97 EVC. Now, my 2001 EVC comes with an access opening precut - almost exactly as my old 97 EVC. Kunio

Belly Pan/Oil Change

Re: Belly pan
While I'm posting, here's another 2 cents. I hate removing the belly pan and hate the fact I can't see anything, "watch" and understand my engine with it on. Having the light come from the bottom
