KEYNE ON DUBS

just something for 1.8t guys totalvag in leighton buzzard are doing reinforced sumps for transverse 1.8t engines.

What do these stronger sumps consist of? steel or ally based sump?

Because you can get a reinforced ally sump for 20v but its still ally so still weak!

ive heard all Total vag do is get a 'Tuf' plate which is just strong plastic?

are they doing sumpgaurds? i want one.

sump gaurds are for homosexuals. your no where near hitting your sump. i dont even hit mine (that much) anymore

sump gaurds are for people who give it beans on uneaven country roads and dont fancy changing a sump!

They are reinforced aluminium ones as you cannot weld steel to alloy they are designed to prevent cracking if you hit anything. If you hit anything hard enough anything breaks tbh. Just thought they were a good idea for 1.8t's running low as looking at the standard sump they are only about 3mm thick least with this you got some chance.


And my metal undertray/sump guard saved me when i hit that bit of pipe in the tunnel on the way to players

where did you get yours from?

Steel bottom sump is where its at mate, i got one on my ibiza, No chance of that cracking, its also slightly shollower!

Ally sumps are such a design fault! Worst idea VW have had.
