You should at least ask VW how much before dismissing them completely.

How big is the crack? Can it be repaired?

Sent from a better device than yours!

Agree with this. Sometimes you can be surprised by dealer pricing (in a good way) ... It's pretty rare, but when it happens you'll be glad you checked.

If the crack is not too bad, it may be able to be welded. Otherwise there is eBay/ wreckers ...

Sumps are a couple of hundred to buy, plus goo and a new sump plug (don't re-use the old one. Ever.).

Does it have the oil level sensor in it? If not, you'll need to factor one of them in as well, as you can't buy the non-oil sensor sumps anymore.

I just looked on ETKA and it looks like they are the same as the 06A engines. I have one from an NA A3 here, no oil level sensor hole. 038103601NA is the part number I have.

Hardest part is undo-ing the 4 bolts hidden up behind the flywheel.

You need a long ball-end allen key socket.
