Repairing your damaged alloy sump (for the interim)

[schoona]

Yes, it is a good idea.

You really don't want to know his other ideas hahahaha

The biggest problem with this stuff is finding it holding things together on a 2nd hand vehicle that you just bought.....

Hahaha.. I do know what you mean there..

Don't worry, I have 2 sumps coming currently somewhere between here and Canada.. As soon as they arrive i'll be putting a fresh one on and crushing the busted one for scrap.

knead it works real well. Used it on a machine engine cover once. Smell's reaalll funky though
My sump got busted a coupla days after this... ahh well I'll keep it, weld up the hole and re-enforce it while I'm there

Sadly too late man. I need my car for uni so I had to get a new one.

It's all good, dude. Fixed for now. Heck, i'm driving it to Sydney in the morning! hahaha.

The block clipped the shackle bolts on the trailing arm and burred the end up on one of them, but that's about it. Thankfully it didn't kick up and bust a fuel line or anything..

Fitted my new sump today.

FYI, the US spec sumps aren't the same. Although, i have a feeling this is an FSI sump.. So it might be that the FSI sumps are different to the TDI sumps.



It doesn't have the little ears on the back side for the windage tray.. So i had to trim the windage tray down to fit. Nothing a few minutes with a hacksaw and a file couldn't sort out though.
