As per the title, I can't get a socket onto the 1 remaining bolt on the flywheel end of the sump. I've tried using a thin extension bar and universal joint but I just can't get it to go on. I've spent the whole afternoon cursing and swearing, my neck is agony from lying on my back underneath the...

Yes, she's gone. Was hoping for many, many more miles but sadly a rock cracked the sump today. Mrs Grayt wax at the wheel but i can't blame her. We're on hols in the lakes and rain had brought down rocks on the honnister pass. Clunk but we had to get somewhere safe to pull over as anyone who...

Hi, just been reading previous posts, am i right to assume no gasket on the 1.8 t AUQ Sump ? All Vagcat shows is sealant? Also will i have to turn flywheel to access 2 bolts on sump as read? What sealant do you use if so? Reccomendations? Is the Holts gasket sealant fine or best to get...

Hi I have been advised by an engineer of my insurance company that my 05 plate Ibiza FR is more than likely going to be written off. To cut a long story short, I hit an unlit traffic island last week when avoiding parked cars which damaged the sump and the two driver side wheels. I have...

The sump plug on my TDi Cupra is loose, it tightens to the top but wont go really tight resulting in slight oil leak and the suspicion it'll probably work itself loose. Took the car to Seat who recon its basically ****ed and will need a new sump! I dread to think how much this'll cost me, so...
