If I baby it about a lot with the heaters on full bung I can run it about almost like normal but its a major pain. Managed to ghetto it all together and get it too the car show albeit on the bentleys(no pics yet though)but yeah after over 3 dozen mk1's and 2's this constantly surprises me with its reliability....

if reliability is the ability to rely on at least one breakdown per journey....

golfman are you talking about steel or alloy sumps?

alloy sumps matey

thats almost 400 gbp I know when I got that one from my mate it was cheaper than it shouldve been but theyre only normally 115gbp. No idea why it costs so much over there....I reckon I could ship one for less than 285 pounds

or you could prob find me a second hand one from a breaker over there. The 1.9tdi isn't exactly a rare engine in the UK

everything VW costs more in Australia...

Best to swap the OG pdi sump for the hybrid surely?

PDi engines are actually unusual to come across in breakers. Most of the breakers round my way automatically pull the engines complete Theyre still a fairly expensive engine to pick up second hand

I'd love to get my hands on a steel sump so it can take a beating without cracking instantly....

Dam! Really? Would have assumed since there are a lot more diesels over your way that it would be cheaper for parts. But I guess supply and demand
