Oil Sump Smashed

[Triple D]

Gutted to hear about this matey, hopefully the engine will be ok, fingers crossed............

 

[truCido]

i presume you turned it with the new sump on... !!!
if so then thats good news.
did it sound ok straight away? or did it sound rough for a bit?

na the plonker of a recovery driver tried to start it however it did turn (didnt start tho). Altho I did speak to a mechanic that i trust and he said try to get it to turn to see if its seized, but I didnt fancy doing it !!

Quick question? Have you got coilovers, if so wind them up and argue the point that it isnt that low. Also yeh the engine might turn over but top end damage, by any chance did u see 5th gear, they ran a car with no oil in last night, lasted about 1.5miles of being thrashed around a track before that seized up, if you switched it off quick enough light as soon as the oil light came on then hopefully all should be ok. But fingers crossed for you mate. Let us know how you get on with it.

nasty! i did the same thing to mine a couple of months ago! the sump ias £80 + some change, only available from the stealers thou.

took me about an hour to do it in my driveway, piece of p**s as long as you've got a set of long allen keys and some commonsense!! ha ha

don't be overly concerned about damage to your engine, mine has been fine ever since.

 

[truCido]

hmmm probably should of done it myself lol, didnt realise it would be so simple!

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

So is it all fixed now then?

 

[truCido]

no its still sitting in the garage....they hadn't even ordered the part yesterday i'm getting quite annoyed now

 

[ian_cupra]

i've scuffed the bottom of mine loads of times now, the last time it made it start to leak ever so slightly

time to get a new one! nevermind hey

Hope you get it sorted and all is ok mate

 

[truCido]

ok now I'm pi**ED they havent actually got the part yet!!!!!!!!!! I know they didnt order the part till yesterday and I took the car in Tuesday, this is taking the pi**!! I havent got a car and I work 80 miles away so theres no way I can get to work and well as I havent been there long its not looking good for me

 

[truCido]

apparantly the parts ordering system has been down since Tuesday???!?!? Do you think they would give me a courtesy car? If not then I need to hire one because I really have to goto work next week

 

[truCido]

ok well they still dont have the part and its on "express" order from SEAT. However they probably wont get it till Thursday / Friday....GREAT

 

[andycupra]

lol
out of stock due to an increase in demand in your area...~!?

seriously took seat nearly 2 weeks to get me a small rubber seal. all of 90pence.

 

[truCido]

haha nope just generally out of stock, all you reckless drivers out there!! hehe

 

[davidol]

ive done this to my old beeza too

 

[truCido]

wohoooo its fixed cant pick it up till Sat when I'm back in Bristol though....

When they took it for a test drive after fitting the new sump coil pack 1 decided to kick the bucket as well and I'm about 17 days out of coil pack warranty lol fs!!

 

[Ibiza125]

Good to here mate! You wrote to the council yet?

 

[andycupra]

good news then

they sure the coil pack hadnt just been dislodged? especially given the sump had a knock?

oh well guess its too late. glad car appears to be ok now.

 

[truCido]

I've got to send another letter to the council, so that will be off Monday morning!

Got it back after a week with the 1.0 Micra it feels like a whole new car !
