Product overview
Audi Oil Pan
06C 103 604C is a oil pan in the RUIFAN Audi range. It is one of 9 references in the Audi Parts block and one of 136 across the catalogue as a whole.
It ships mixed with other catalogue lines, which is what makes a low-volume reference worth stocking at all.
The part closes the bottom of the engine block, holds the oil when the engine is off and carries the drain plug and its thread. Flange flatness across the full perimeter is what decides whether it seals once it is fitted. The original catalogue record carried a vehicle application table for this reference, reproduced in full below.
What this reference is used for
- Private-label and importer programmes
- Fleet and workshop stock for recurring service work
- Replacement of a dented, corroded or leaking pan
- Engine reconditioning and rebuild programmes

Who it is for
Buyers Who Order This Reference
Importers and private label brands
Brand owners who sell under their own label and need the factory behind that label to stay the same from season to season.
OE and tier programme buyers
Engineering buyers who arrive with a drawing or a sample instead of a catalogue number.
Classic and long tail specialists
Single-marque and restoration businesses that keep selling references mainstream catalogues have already dropped.
Problems it solves
What Brings Buyers to This Part
- The drain boss thread has been stripped by repeated servicing and a thread insert is not an acceptable repair.
- A catalogue line has gone dead because the previous supplier stopped tooling this reference.
- The number is quoted under two or three different references in different markets and the buyer cannot confirm they are the same casting.
- The sealing flange on the old pan is no longer flat, so a new gasket alone will not stop the leak.
Key benefits
Why Buy 06C 103 604C From RUIFAN
Manufactured under the quality systems recorded by RUIFAN: ISO 9001 and TS 16949
Backed by a factory that has manufactured parts of this type since 1994
Where the archive holds alternate numbers or application data, they are published on this page unchanged
Scheduled against a stated annual oil pan output of 500,000 pieces
Long-tail references consolidated with volume lines instead of being dropped
No invented specifications: anything the archive did not record is shown as not recorded
Materials and manufacturing
How This Oil Pan Is Produced
The archived record does not state a material for this reference. RUIFAN produces both drawn steel and cast aluminum parts of this type, and the correct construction is confirmed against the part being replaced before production is scheduled.
Confirm construction
Material and method confirmed against the part being replaced or a supplied sample.
Form or cast
Drawn from sheet, or die, gravity or sand cast, according to what the original part is.
Machine and finish
Sealing faces, bores and threads finished to the reference.
Inspect and pack
Checked against the reference sample, then packed with the sealing face protected.
Manufacturing methods listed here are the ones recorded on the original RUIFAN services page: deep and shallow draw stamping; die casting, sand casting and gravity casting; chrome plating and vacuum metallization. The method used for a given reference is confirmed against the part being replaced.
Quality control
Quality Systems Behind This Reference
RUIFAN recorded ISO 9001 and TS 16949 quality systems on its original site. Certificate numbers and validity dates were not stored in the archived material and are supplied on request rather than stated here.
Sealing flange
Flatness across the full perimeter decides whether the part seals at all. It is the first thing to check on arrival.
Drain boss
Thread condition and squareness to the boss face, checked before packing.
Dimensional check
Against the reference sample for the catalogue number being run.
Packing
Flange protection specified per programme, because a bent flange makes a sound part unusable.
Customisation
If This Reference Is Not Exactly What You Need
The original RUIFAN site stated that the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings. That route covers references that never made it into the catalogue, superseded parts whose tooling has been scrapped, and private-label variants of an existing part.
A physical sample is enough to start. Where no sample survives, a dimensioned drawing or a 3D file works. Tooling cost, lead time and ownership are agreed in writing before any work begins.
What to send with an enquiry
- The number stamped or cast into the part being replaced
- The vehicle, the engine code and the production year
- A photograph of the flange face and one of the drain boss side
- Annual quantity, or the quantity for a first order
- Destination market, which affects packing and documentation
Comparison
06C 103 604C Against the Alternatives
How sourcing this reference from RUIFAN compares with the other routes a buyer has.
| Option | What you get | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|
| RUIFAN catalogue supply | The reference held in a 136-number catalogue with the archive data published alongside it, produced in one plant with one packing standard. | Fields the original database never recorded are shown as not recorded rather than filled in. |
| Original equipment channel | Guaranteed fitment and full manufacturer documentation. | Highest unit cost, and older references are progressively withdrawn from supply. |
| Local pattern part supply | Short lead time and no import handling. | Coverage is usually limited to fast movers, so the long tail of a number family stays unsourced. |
| Used or reclaimed oil pan | Lowest purchase cost, sometimes the only route for a withdrawn reference. | Flange flatness, thread condition and corrosion are unknown until it is on the bench. |
Use guide
Identifying and Fitting 06C 103 604C
A working sequence for confirming the reference and fitting it without a repeat leak.
- Confirm the reference against the number cast or stamped into the part you are replacing, not against the parts system entry.
- Compare the archive photograph on this page with the part on the vehicle: flange outline, bolt count, drain boss side and overall depth.
- Check whether the application requires an oil level sensor boss. Two otherwise identical references can differ on this alone.
- Clean both the pan flange and the block face completely before fitting. Old gasket material and oil film are the usual cause of a repeat leak.
- Check the new pan sits flat against the block dry, before any gasket or sealant goes on.
- Follow the engine manufacturer's gasket or sealant specification. Do not add sealant on top of a moulded gasket.
- Torque from the centre of each long side outwards in at least two passes, and respect the sealant cure time before filling with oil.
Torque figures, sealant specification and gasket type are set by the vehicle manufacturer for the engine concerned. Follow that procedure rather than a generic figure.
Questions About 06C 103 604C
What vehicle does 06C 103 604C fit?
The archived catalogue record lists this reference in the Audi Parts block. A vehicle application table was recorded for it and is published above. Send the vehicle, the engine code and the number from the old part and we will confirm against the catalogue before quoting.
What if the number I need is not in your catalogue?
The original RUIFAN site stated that the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings. Send a sample, a drawing or a dimensioned photograph and we will review whether it can be tooled.
What quality systems does the factory work to?
The original RUIFAN site recorded ISO 9001 and TS 16949. Current certificate numbers and validity dates are not published here because they were not in the archived material; they are provided on request.
What are the minimum order quantity and lead time for 06C 103 604C?
Minimum order quantity, carton quantity and lead time were not recorded in the archived catalogue and are confirmed per order, because they depend on whether the reference is being run on its own or alongside other lines in the same family.
Which other numbers does this reference cross to?
The original database recorded 06B 103 604C / 06C 103 604AC against this part. Those are reproduced exactly as stored. If you hold a reference that is not on that list, send it and we will check it against the catalogue.
