Sump gasket
« on: 17 November 2011, 23:27 »
Hi Folks,

Got some fuchs 10-40 semi for a weekend change.

The sump gasket is leaking however. Checking ebay, there is a seller selling a sump gasket and baffel tray -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sump-Gasket-Baffle-Tray-VW-Golf-Mk3-1-6-2ltr-GTI-Di-/170607899950?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b905f52e#ht_1234wt_1037

Has anyone tried this one before? Don't know if this baffel tray is just a gimmick. I am guessing and good scrub down of the sump should be surfice.

Eurocparts are doing 2 different makes of gasket for around £11. However I am through in glasgow tomorrow near a GSF. I am not sure if GSF do better ones which are cheaper or more expensive?.

Any advice for tomorrow guys, as I want to grab one when I am out tomorrow.

Also just to check, the golf just hit 130k miles, Am I best to stay away from engine flushes?

Thanks again.

Yes avoid engine flush, for the gasket I would use a genuine one, saves doing a messy job twice.

As above for genuine. Got one a few months ago, about £16 iirc. Much less likely to weep again.  :wink:

I thought the dealers were supplying tubes of gasket sealant? or do they still do actual gaskets?

I got one ages ago from VW (£30?) and never used it, but proper rubber gasket with metal insides - quite rigid.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.
