Oil Sump - Oe Or Pattern

[AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars]

Been out to the car today and noticed that the car has developed a slight slight leak from the oil sump plug. Not really a major problem as it was due an oil change & new plug early next year so would be being replaced then anyway.

 

What i have noticed however is that the underside of the sump appears to have gained a fair amount of corrosion, which i'm not surprised considering it's probably the original one, so it's spurred me on to get that sorted at the same time as the oil change.

 

What would be the best brand to get. Are these still available new / o.e from Peugeot, and are they any good, or alternatively has anyone had any experience of any decent o.e spec sumps, with regards to quality, fit, etc?

 

I would be tempted to remove the one currently fitted and see if it can be cleaned, treated, painted, etc, but being that i'm still using the car regularly i'd be dropping it at my mates garage so it would be easier / quicker for him to just fit a new one.

 

Also while the sump is off are there any other things worth doing? I was thinking maybe get the oil pump checked/cleaned and also check/replace the spring (if it looks worn) at the same time?

 

Many Thanks

Any advice on this one as looking to get it sorted early January and dont want to end up buying a crappy part if i dont have to

 

Is it worth maybe just treating & repainting the original sump so that i retain the original item and then just use a new gasket/seal?

You could always stick a Alloy one on, To my knowledge only Pug make the sumps if you can still get them for the 1.9

A cheap effective way could be to get someone t weld a patch over the corroded area i recon you could get a good job done using tig or even gas as opposed to mig

Forgot about this.

 

Thankfully i was able to get the car up in the air over Christmas and overall it looks like i'll be able to get away with just tidying up the current sump rather than the expense of a new one

 

As the car's going on SORN for the month of Feburary while the brake pipes are replaced and a few other jobs are being done, so it will give me a chance to get it off & tidy it up and then refit it with a new gasket for a decent seal

 

Decided that while it's off the car i may as well get the pump checked and cleaned, etc, as well.

 

Edit - Blimey only one left in the network - i'm surprised there's still one floating around out there but i bet that must be worth a fair bit now.

Maybe new temp sensor at the same time?

I got mine of a Citroen dealer in High Wycombe it cost me £30 plus post (fitted a ZX to i think)

 

The one in Belgium would be 50% of retail if on the shelf

Hi farmer i too need to look at replacing the sump on my 1991 J reg 1.9 GTI do you know how i could go about contacting the stockist in Belgium?

[farmer 327 1 Cars]

It's gone now.

 

What's the part number you need to search again?

[AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars]

I was about to say, it's about a year since that post so I'd imagine it's definitely gone by now :hehe:

[farmer 327 1 Cars]

Just noticed that too.

 

Be others i would think.

Use a alloy one, XU7 and XU10's from 306 & 406 to name a few all use them
