oil? High mileage

[Wayne]

Im pretty sure i have 10w40 in it atm and im having no problems atall havnt had to top it up once within 3 months.

Yeh the pickup pipe is something im defiantly going to be looking at! As my oil pressure light keeps coming on recently when going round corners

  Get it sorted ASAP

Yep that is not good.

Can you buy the pickup pipe separate from the pump itself? As i cant really afford a new pump aswell :/

Tbh ive only just read up on this sludge problem..the warning light has been coming on occasionally since i brought the car 3 months ago when going round a big corners...if i knew about it sooner i would of sorted it!
Car sounds and runs healthy atm tho, so looks like ive been lucky. Sumps coming off at the weekend!!

I changed my pick up pipe about a month ago when I changed to 10W40 oil and the pipe including a new o-ring came to about £14.  There is no sump gasket, you use sealant instead and to be on the safe side I bought mine from VW and this cost more money than the pipe at £20!!
