Sump pan
« on: 03 August 2009, 14:53 »
My sump pan looks a bit worse for wear and is leaking.

After doing a search, I was going to get one from the main dealer as the pattern parts are supposed to be a bit poor. However, the Stealer wants £63 for the sump pan! Has anybody gotten one from VW spares before?

If so, are they any good? Don't want to be cursing it because the holes don't line up or something!

The fit of the one I bought from GSF was fine, just make sure you use a new gasket, obviously, and a torq wrench - the bolts need to be torqued diagonaly to make sure the pan seals properly.

You could replace the pan bolts at the same time.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I'm glad I don't have to go Main Dealer!   :smiley:

Clean all the old gasket off before fitting the new set up.
