boldy205 75 Posted June 1, 2006 just a quick one, a 1.9 Mi was available with either alloy or steel sumps, is this correct, if so is the material the only differance, any internal differances ie. baffles etc? thanks for your time matt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer309GTi 3 Posted June 1, 2006 According to this thread, only a handfull of bx 16v engines had the steel sump, nearly all Mi's had alloy sumps. Maybe thats a 8v sump on that engine we were talking about? Another thread: Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 611 Posted June 2, 2006 It would be an odd Mi16 that didn't have an alloy sump, as they have the A/C mounts. The later 309 16V sumps were baffled, but nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted June 2, 2006 So what sump has a baffle in it standard that can be easily sourced and fitted to the Mi, apart from the 309Gti16??! Gti6? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205Rog 0 2 Cars Posted June 2, 2006 S16 Sump has a baffle, also is a straight swap onto the 1.9 if I remember rightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidypug 5 2 Cars Posted June 3, 2006 to answer your question IMHO the alloy sump is the better item because its finned it aids oil cooling quite alot. It allows me to run mine without an oil cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
