Atlas, holding up the world.

Illustration for article titled Atlas, holding up the world.

Or, what holds up a VW Atlas’s belly pan. Removal necessary for an oil change.

10x T25s, 3 T40s, one plastic rivet whose center pin pushes into the rivet - and from there into a crossmember - to release.

I like the car (flame suit on). For a CUV, it’s nice, and has been getting better than advertised mileage. More importantly, my wife likes it (except for the remote start range, or lack thereof). BUT...seriously, VW engineers? Taking serviceability lessons from the Audi-ites down the hall?
