Sump sealing

Recommended Posts

Going to fit my V9 charger shortly and need to remove and tap the sump. Wondering if it is best to buy a new one as I've seen some Elring branded ones for sale from Topran (Germany)

There are two kits, one with a rubber gasket and one without.

 

Is it better to seal the sump with sealing compound or to use the gasket?

 

Difference is price is about £20, anyone know how much the VW sump sealant is to buy?

 

 

Cheers

For early VR I believe you need the sealant for the fibre gasket. The later rubber gaskets are not required though. VW want £45 for the rubber gasket, so I went with an elring one from cp4l for around £15 iirc.
