Title: Cracked the sump help needed
Post by: 55golf on July 18, 2013, 10:41:51 pm: Cracked the sump on my car tonight. Engine is fine as I turned it off straight away. Anyone know how much a new one is or if mine can be fixed

A metal skip pan would be better...

Post by: xjay1337 on July 19, 2013, 10:43:51 pm: That would also work.
But the TDI undertray is £20 and offers plenty of protection and decreases noise as well so it's a win-win!

Post by: xjay1337 on July 19, 2013, 11:13:08 pm: The sump is really easy to remove and refit. Do it yourself. If you don't have one already buy the Halfords professional toolkit that's normally £200 (but always up for sale for £99.99).

Even with the cost of the oil, filter, and sealant, it's cheaper than paying VW to do it and you've then invested in some tools for the future.

removing the sump is outlined here in a guide I did for changing the oil pickup.

Tfsi sumps are 130 plus vat atm. Tsi sumps are steel so I guess a bit cheaper.
