Did you not look into getting a shallow sump?

no mate, i really don't want one of those due to oil starvation.. you have to run less oil in those and IMO that can only be a bad thing

looked at the INA strengthened sump from USA but its is around £300 to get it here.. the genuine ones i can get for £39.. so ill live with this for now

I'm after other stuff, i want to 2.0T coil pack conversion too, so would rather spend the ££ on that.. these are also form USA..

Engine raisers or would the lump hit the bonnet?

Spose at £40 + oil it's a serviceable part  :laugh: :grin:

can't raise the lump as i have no clearance at the top either

The guy at Audi says he sells a lot of these to normal S3 owners on cars that are not lowered.. they sit low even at standard height in the S3 apparently

i have a few 5L containers of the Gold Longlife III oil that i got from my contacts at VW  :lipsrsealed:

so yeah for £39.. and a hour or so ov my time its not such a big deal...

Ok so today i got back my custom intercooler piping i had made up to replace the pipe i had before which is pictured below

few reasons why i wanted to got 1 piece and in alloy is because the silicone on the pipe  had before was split in 2 places where it was rubbing on the front cross member.. and also because i wanted to have less joins meaning less chance of leaks and also to get rid of the plastic pipe that used to house the MAP sensor - this has now been relocated to the cold side where it should be..

this pipe lives on the drivers side of the engine and goes from the metal charge pipe that flows round the left side of the engine. this pipe joins this to the front mount intercooler

the guy has done a superb job even by my standards


old v new
