RE: Oil Pan Gasket (16V)

The older A3 gaskets are reusable, they are rubber with metal inserts. The paper gaskets are not and you are asking for a world of trouble if you do considering what a PITA it is to some of those damn pan bolts in. It will leak.

Are the oil pan gaskets (I have an aluminum one) on the 16V reusable? My dad seems to think so. I would like to think so but I'm not sure. TIA
