Sorry to hear that bud. I have no answers for you. Pick and pull?

There is an LQK yard in Salem that pulls the parts for you. You want a pan from a 99-00 V6 Contour / Mystique. I say that even though a pan from any 95 - 00 will fit because starting in 99 they have a better internal design.

Thanks, I've been busy trying to old vw ready for winter driver while the tour is down. Parts geek has new ones for 78 bucks so when funds are available i'll get a new one, I also replaced the battery now i have to find out why the rear calipers are sticking then she'll be roadworthy again.

If money grew on trees, ...
this would maybe be a good time to install a limited slip diff, rationalized by "roadworthiness" when the weather turns awful.
But other than defroster woes, the old Bug I once had handled new england winter well, so the BS argument to sink $$$$ into the svt is refuted.
Hey, your stock csvt diff survived the night at PIR and the fwd is still good in coast range rain.

Hmmmm....... money is a consideration and "new ones for 78 bucks" vrs. used for about $20, and in most cases it isn't a wear part..... !
Check your e-brake cables they may be the cause of your sticking calipers.... just a thought.
BTW back in high school I had a 62 VW we had a lot of fun in that car.... some of it with the back seat folded down

Fun in an old bug...?
Like installing the converters to get a 12 volt 8 track player to work in a 6 volt car?
(Uh oh. Now Shotwell will pipe up about an 8 track he's fixing to put in a Monte Carlo or a diesel Rabbit.)
But Aussie's old bug probably had working heated mirrors and Mercury interior pieces.

Do those pans have the additional baffling?
Since I'll be doing the 3L upgrade soon with a 2003 Taurus engine, does it have the pan with the additional baffling?

Yes 3.0L pans are all upgraded design.

Good times!
Have fun fixing that VW. It's a lot easier than the SVT!

Once you get good at it you can get it done in an hour or so. Yes, it's hell. Not as bad as changing the clutch!
Still, it's an amazing car to drive. That's essentially the only thing that's kept me going on this thing.
