Haydn 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 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! 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.Sump no.1Standard sumpModded Sump (sump no.3) Link to post Share on other sites

richievr 1 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah' date=' that lump is removed on the alloy sumps :-)[/quote']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..
