G60Jet 1 Posted January 13, 2003 Anyone know if the G60 sump has a wingage tray or not. seems like a good idea to me http://www.parts4vws.com/catalog/product_detail.aspPartNumber=037115220B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60ING 0 Posted January 13, 2003 The G60s have them but they are not that nice. They are plastic and clip on to the Oil pump's pick up tube. The G60's plastic one does have baffles built into it to aid in keeping oil near the pick up tube while cornering. I know a few people that rebuilt their G60 motors with this metal windage tray and they had a difficult time with the bolt's length. I think if I used this windage tray I would want an oil pan with baffles in it. This is one of those areas that I have no problems with right now so I'm content but I tell you this the plastic is brittle after 12-13years of heat cycles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16VG60 1 Posted January 14, 2003 The G60 is not fitted with a windage tray as standard kit. The plastic attatchment on the pick up tube on the oil pump is a basic baffle to keep oil around this area. Under "normal" driving conditions this should suffice. Prolonged high speed cornering however would require a purpose built baffled sump. The windage tray shown is a standard VW part and is a easily fitted component with the standard sump bolts. Extended bolts are not required as the windage tray also incorporates the sump gasket. The tray greatly improves crank operation and i would reccomend it's use in any performance engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steveo29 0 Posted January 15, 2003 16vg60....you say these greatly improve crank operation.....is this something one should notice....i can see the mechanical advantage,but i didnt find any differance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16VG60 1 Posted January 16, 2003 You will not be likely to percieve any difference in performance. The improvement i reffer to is in oil control and the reduction of frictional losses on the crank operation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60Jet 1 Posted January 16, 2003 Where can you get these windage trays from? It a VW part apparently but you can get them here for $40 plus postage. http://www.parts4vws.com/catalog/product_detail.aspPartNumber=037115220B Im gonna upgrade my oil pump and add that, just as soon as i find out which pil pump to use, there is one off a newer vw that a direct swap and give better oil pressure apparently.

aussieg60 0 Posted May 27, 2006 I have installed this windage tray minus the original black plastic baffle as it would not fit with the windage tray 037 115 220 B Is this ok, or do I need the black original plastic baffle as someone said it aids side movement in oil pan for the oil pickup ?

Supercharged 2 Posted May 27, 2006 aussieg60, no thats fine, you replace the plastic bit... the windage tray performs the same function. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aussieg60 0 Posted May 28, 2006 thanks for the advice, another question, do I need to loctite the oil pan sump bolts ? Is 20 NM to much ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 28, 2006 No loctite needed and 20Nm is spot-on - just put a layer of oil round the gasket / windage tray to help it seal... When I did mine I dropped the oil pump to take of the old tray but i think they can just be broken off - I assume the windage tray can then be slid on but if it doesn't go over the pump pickup then just drop the pump down - only 2 bolts... I wrote this that should help... http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... &rcid=1039 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged Junkie 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Got one of these from darren at g-werks for about £30, very good quality haven`t got around to fitting it yet. Think i will take it to a garage to get them to fit it, done a sump on a scirocco before and the 2 bolts on the gearbox end are a complete pain in the arse to do :-( :mad: Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged Junkie 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Well finally got around to taking my car to the garage to fit the new sump & windage tray, dropped the car off ar 9am, walked the 2miles home. Got home went to bed ( I work nights) then at 11:30am the garages rings me up to say the had to order another sump gasket because the one i supplied is from a diesel. :-( I must of told them 10 times that it would fit but no they know best, then they ask me where the locking wheel nut is! (also was having the rear caliper changed) told them in the glovebox....NO ITS NOT! another 10times i told them it was there! anyhow managed to borrow my mum`s car drove up there, had to show them now to fit the gasket and then went into the glovebox and got the locking wheel nut out for them!!! :mad: Honestly, got 4 garages within 2miles of where i live and there all fecking useless!!!! What annoyed me the most was that i left the how-to guide on how to change the sump and fit a windage tray in the new sump when i dropped it off, and the guy only read the bit that said get a windage tray for a mk3 diesel ! Got it back now, charged me £120 just for labour, DON`T THINK I`LL BE GOING THERE AGAIN!! Oh and they had a good old play with my stereo aswell, should of checked the mileage when i dropped it off...probably thrashed it up and down the road! RANT OVER :lol: Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 4, 2006 My guide wasn't much use then... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aussieg60 0 Posted June 5, 2006 I personally think the guide is excellent. Will I run into trouble if I forgot to pre-oil the windage tray's gasket ? The sumps already on with all the bolts. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 5, 2006 Nah you'll be ok as long as it's seated well and the bolts are correctly torque'd... Just fill her up and run up to temp on the drive and check for leaks... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged Junkie 0 Posted June 18, 2006 My guide wasn't much use then... :lol: Yeah it was good for me, made him feel a complete tw@t when i said look it says you have to remove the oil pump to fit the tray, D`oh! Dim Bar :lol: Thanks Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60ING 0 Posted June 18, 2006 what provision does the metal baffel have for keeping oil around the pick up tube? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
