Oil pan gasket Q - 2.0 vs 1.8

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

So am I but I didn't use a 3A block I used the standard Pasaat 16V 2L.  We did a test fit and with the 1.8 gasket there was no clearance.  I ended up getting the 2L from the dealer, ouch.  Then there was enough cleareance for the pick up tube.
