VR6 South 0 Posted February 15, 2006 The VR passed it's MoT first time again yesterday. Sixth year in a row :shock: :D However I was advised that my sump gasket is begining to leak. Is this a DIY job? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah dead easy. A ton of bolts all the way round and a few pieces of engine cover to remove. Easy but very fiddly and back-breaking! Might be worth fitting a new sump while you're at it. If yours is a bit battered and oily. They don't cost too much - about £40 I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmannVR6 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah definately a DIY job. Drain the oil, get the car up on axle stands and undo all the 10mm bolts round the sump. Replace with a genuine VAG gasket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks! Defo doing it myself. I can wait as it's not too bad and it only had an oil change yesterday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dub envy 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Did mine on my road. Not the toughest of jobs, but you get arm ache from doing up the 3,000,000 sump bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 15, 2006 VW have superceded the old ribbed rubber gasket with a fibre type one now, which seals a lot better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
