My fault. Just boughta carrera 4s. 2002 25,000 miles. Car is going to the shop tomorrow. Going in for installatin of LN engineering IMS bearing upgrade, LN new thermostat, and new RMS. Clutch will depend on what it looks like when they are in there. Thought I might be able do a little work myself by installing a new x51 oil pan. Long story. Short story, last bolt I over tighened and snapped the head off. What is a likely soloution?

post a pic I would like to see what you are talking about. Maybe then we can all give a better recommendation

Cooled off and took another look. Broken bolt is located in portion of the oil pan where it is not seated in the block. It actually continues through topside. Hopefully this won't be so bad.

First you should remove the oil pan. If some part of the bolt is visible, you can remove it with pliers (the easiest way). If not you have to drill the bolt away.

Best luck,
