Hello Volvo enthusiast!

I'm looking for some advice on removing the oil pan on a V70 2.5D / TDI 1999 with the VW 5-cyl diesel engine. Reason for removal is replacement of the oil pump gasket which is suspected of leaking oil...

I tried to remove the oil sump by following the steps as they are presented in VADIS. All this worked very well until I reached the last step (of which I thought would be the easiest step of all):

"Remove the oil pan"

That just isn't so easy.... because it's stuck behind the engine/driveshaft/mount support on one side (timebelt) and to the power steering lines on the other (gearbox) side. I tried several things but it didn't work out. Last resort for me is to remove the support that's seems in the path of the sump OR a great hint from you guys!

Anybody?

Regards,

Koen from The Netherlands
