cdem 0 Posted March 7, 2014 Has anybody tried fitting a baffled sump? I brought one brand new and cant get it to seal, even tried the gasket sealant from vw. Engine is an abf by the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted March 8, 2014 Aftermarket or OEM? I know someone made some weld-in kits a while back... I used a 24V sump on my VR for a while (until I cracked it, stupid potholes!) but the baffling's pretty half-hearted. Now I'm using an R32 sump it's much better! Don't notice a massive difference but the main advantage is how high up it sits - way shallower than stock. Doesn't really help you though, sorry! I really don't think oil starvation in corners is as much of a problem as everyone thinks, the pumps are pretty good really. Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted March 8, 2014 Who did it? If the person welded in the baffles it would have distorted the sump enough so it wont seal. Did you put it flat on the ground to see? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted March 12, 2014 I can't remember the brand but it wasn't one of them cheap ebay jobbies....brought it ages ago. Haven't put it on flat ground yet, shall do next time I go to the car :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
