Title: Price for new sump and fitting?
Post by: cuprak1 on December 16, 2009, 08:51:37 am: Hmm, i smashed my sump last night and its pissing with oil. managed to get it towed about 50 miles back home but now i face the daunting task of working out what else might of been damaged...

im hoping that its just the sump... and a fresh load of oil.

Any one know a rough price im looking at for this?

that sounds pritty cool.. and depending on price of OEM i might just go for this...

Post by: DanGB on December 16, 2009, 10:37:24 am: how the hell did you smash it, is your car actually lowered??

Remember give david a call @ sere motors on SCN for cheap vag parts, if you dont go for the smaller sump.

Ill try get you a pic of what i mean..

I just mean if its hit the ground hard enough to crack the sump LOTS of other things on the front end will have made even heavier contact with the road, as the sump is about 6-8mm higher up than the bottom amrs, mid section sub frame, front crash section etc etc..

You must have been flying.. Literally!! :grin:

Post by: tony_danza on December 16, 2009, 01:10:43 pm: What's the inside of a sump like - i.e. is it worth seeing if PSI will do a baffled one?

Andy's a clever chap BTW, if he's making them, you know they're pukka.

All the fuel lines run just under the plastic covers of the shell floor.. All of which are lower to ground than the sump itself..
