Hi Got a bit of a dilemma. I took my car to a local garage for a 40K service last weekend. They phoned me up later on saying that just as they were about to change the oil they noticed that the sump plug was covered in a thick layer of silicone sealant. They said that the only reason they...

I did a service on my cupra tdi at the weekend and the sump plug was covered in mastic so I feared the worst. I was right, it was bodged in with PTFE tape and the thread in the sump is knackered. A common problem I read on here :( I've tried to take the sump off but two of the bolts are off...

Hi Guys, Was taking a look under the car today to see if I could identify where the suspension related knocking noise is coming from and I can see that car has an almost brand new sump on it (i've only had it the car a few weeks), it also looks like the bottom of the bumper has been caught...

Went over a humpback bridge yesterday, landed a bit hard, and BANG, sump gone. How difficult is the sump to replace on a V5? Is the v5 Sump from a golf / bora compatible with the toledo?
