Install New Oil Pan - Instructions?

Busted oil pan. Looks difficult to replace? Purchased a GREAT aftermarket pan by the way 100US delivered.

appears there is also a section in the pan for radiator fluid to flow - maybe for the heater? at any rate don't want to go further without proper instructions and torq for buttoning up.

Looked on internet for Vida and all I can find is aftermarket saying possible malware and computer shut down. YIKES!

I would take to Volvo but already purchased all the parts and also doing timing belt and water pump at same time (finished) and struts and shocks.

any suggestions or instruction would be appreciated.

LOVE THE CAR!!!

You can get a VMWare copy of Volvo's tech support for your car, VIDA, from this site. It will give the step-by-step guidance. You can also get the complete DiCE / VIDA setup from eBay for around $100. While, AFIK, you cannot do any programming, you WILL be able to view all operating parameters and select and change many settings.
