Last go at running a standard VR sump


Recommended Posts

Went to buy R32 sump and oil pump but pump is on back order and has been for a while, so i thought id have one last go at running a standard VR sump. R32 next if this doesnt work. The main bit that catches on mine is the lump before the sump plug so i did a bit of modding with a new sump and had it glowing orange and a big Hammer! :D Then gave it a quick waft of paint. Plug wont catch with the polo sump plug. Not amazing but i reckon it might just do for a bit. I think winter time in the garage will bring the R32 sump.

trouble is an ally sump will crack if you hit it too hard *-) a steel one will dent..

(mine did anyway)

and those recessed plugs are good for a couple extra mill too, i have one in mine now..
