Ive never heard of anyone needing one with these engines, that is including race teams running on slicks.

Having oil pressure issues? The newer Tsi engine is known to be sh*t for oil starvation on track  :sick:

Due to the size of the oil pump and balance shafts, it's not possible to baffle the sumps.

Only way to do so is to convert to a 1.8T oil pump and use a baffled 1.8T sump.

Would that use the tfsi pick up pipe?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the original Subaru Impress used a boxter design engine, which came from Porsche.

Ferdinand Porsche was the man who designed the first Volkswagen (under Hitlers orders).

This means that Subaru Imprezas are a half cousin of the Golfs.

I think you're confusing 'boxster' and 'boxer'.  :smiley:

So I am... Porsche never did a flat 4 did they!

I'm from Essex so Scooby's are like a right of passage. I must defend my beliefs.

Love the Impreza.

Have you carried out many of these conversions Alex?

Have you had the oil pressure warning light flick on when cornering hard?

Title: Re: Baffled sumps
Post by: scopes on October 20, 2015, 10:36:02 am
No not from cornering, just one time after i got it serviced, so at that point i decided to do the pick up pipe...

Been great ever since !  :happy2:  It was something I was more interested in doing to prevent it ever happening... But as a few have said it's not common to happen with the TFSI/mk5's.. More the TSI engines...
