Oil sump/pan needed

[soltarian]

Hey everyone,

I managed to crack my oil sump the other day ...

When I rang VW garage (here in Brisbane) they quoted me $340 for it ... :-O When looking at germanautoparts, it's priced at $95 (US dollars i'm guessing). It will still be cheaper with postage though.

Would anyone have any other places (in Australia if possible) where I can get a new sump?


Thanks
Max

Dumb question: Where do you guys buy general parts from?

Found this that suggested HSY or Imparts. Will have a look at them and see how much they charge.

Also, no one would have some spare one? Or could show me how to put it on myself? I have a vague idea on how to but I thought it would good to send the car to the mechanic (although expensive) to check if anything else got damaged under there... Any thoughts?


Cheers,

If you want new, have a look on ebay as well. search with the engine code.

With that dealer price you could take it off and get it welded up for less.

Google KMJ they are a breakers in Brisbane, not been myself but know a few lads that do.

Thanks Gavin; stupid question: by engine code you mean part number??? :-S

Also, I find a lot of pans/sumps for 1.8T Golfs. I have a 1.6L one ... are they all the same or some are bigger/smaller and/or have different fittings?

The engine code is on the sticker in the service book. I don't play with 1.8s so I don't know the codes. Imparts and HSY can do it off your VIN number.

Hmm ok, don't have the service book on me (it's in the car, which is at a mate's...)

I found this on ebay: VW GOLF POLO SHARAN BORA NEW BEETLE OIL SUMP NEW 038103601NA 038103603N | eBay almost seems too good to be true!? it does have my part number on there.

I looked around to see if I could find my engine code via my VIN (which I know as I have it saved on my computer) but couldn't find it
