At Auto2000 yesterday with R24 I took the opportunity to get it up on the car lift again because the oil leak I discussed in a different thread is worrying me as I am off to Holland in it in mid April.

The sump I thought was cracked and silicone/rubber sealed at the front offside corner (which I was going to have welded) is actually broken and the corner is missing [&:]

So.................I need a decent s/h sump. The nice people at Auto2000 gave me a few numbers but I thought I`d ask on here if there is one lying in a garage corner? I`m happy to pay but as yet I dont know how much they go for or if there are any around at all?

Suggestions on a postcard too...................................................me [;)]
 
Try Porsch-Apart (Simon Butterworth) if you don't have any luck elsewhere.
Cheers,

(Sorry, couldn't find a postcard so had to send electronically).

 
I think I may have one [&:]

I'm not entirely sure which sump my new engine is using - either my original Turbo sump, or the one from the donor engine (they may be the same - I dunno)

I'll email Jon and see

actually they probably are different because the Turbo one is baffled

Cheers Paul, look forward to anything you can do to help.

Regardless of its origin I`ll improve the baffles or if it doesnt have any I`ll take advice and baffle it [;)]

Can anyone tell me if the turbo sump is different in any way (I personally cannot see why it would be)
 
I will put out some feelers for a sump for you.

I think the Porsche Breakers should have some.. if they get a turbo in with a worn out engine, the sump will be retained.

All the best

Update,
Douglas valley have a sump £79 + vat + carriage [:mad:]
I need to confirm please that the correct sump has a sender on the opposite side from the pick up pipe next to the drain plug?
Scott from DV was unsure when I asked so he went out and looked at a two engines, one did not have this and the other one did. he ststes that it is a turbo engine BUT........................
Is the oil LEVEL sender this close to the sump drain? Seems unlikely to me. I`ve tried to find piccies on the web but cannot.
Also do I need to be careful in buying a sump ie: is the 220 bhp or pre 88.5 etc to be avoided or are they the same in baffling and sender.
Please confirm asap if y`all can as I can catch tomorrows courier if I let him know asap
Thanks in advance

Thanks Jon

thats very decent of you however I may have found one (see message above) can you assist with the quireies I`ve raised please.

Thanks
 
Price-wise that's about what I expected - I looked into replacing mine after I holed it, but in the end got it welded up.
 
Sump arrived

(BTW thanks Paul (and John) but I got one from Douglas Valley, mind you I had to inform them that there are different types.

Anyway for those that are interested in a turbo sump I cleaned it up and took a coupla piccies.........
