Total time was probably around 5 or 6 hrs.....it's doable for sure. If you have basic mechanical knowledge I'd say you'll be fine...

Hello,
Looks like the valve is about 5/16" (8mm) lower than the pan:
I'm at stock ride height, so this tiny piece is still higher than some plastic oil pans. I suppose I could attach a tiny deflector in front of the valve, just in case.

Missed your post...
Love the spring kit, ride is smoother and more compliant, feels planted.
Car was slightly too low for real world driving, imo.
As you can see in the picture (below) from my original post, the adjuster (L) is maxed out with the shorter spring.

Found a dent in the drivers side fender above the wheel well. A rock must have bounced up and hit it even though I'm very careful about my follow distance.
I know dents are bound to happen, but damn it hurts whenever you find a new one

I know the feeling... the sheet metal must be thinner on these cars than previous generations. Took a rock to the hood a couple of months ago and it left a nice dent and chip to bare metal behind!!

Awesome thanks, nice work
Changed the oil/filter and installed a steel oil pan from USP:
Installed a Fumoto valve in place of the oil plug...
I didn't need to drive the car, so I let the sealant cure for the full 24 hours. No leaks so far.

Are the fumoto valves universal.. looking for one for my gti

Not for the plastic oil pan. They use a weird quarter turn with index locking thread

So I would have to get a metal pan and the valve?

I threw on a quick intake scooped made last night. Inspired by Twisted, and his thread on the subject. Could use some fine tuning but it does work per the butt dyno
