richystran 7 3 Cars Posted December 10, 2006 Hi all Just bought a 1.9 gti for tracking last night for £100 basically a shell that has been rubbed down ready for spraying but everything that needs to be is on it, except a sump! The person i bought it off said it bust and he mislayed it, anyway i tried a sump off a spare 1.9 engine i had and it would fit ok but the oil pump sits down too far for it to go on. Im confused why this is? Is it a uprated pump or is there different sumps on earlier 205's eg 1989 and a 1991 one? Anyway i had a good look at the bottom end and i see alot of balancing has been done! and new rod's etc so alot of money has been spent also theres a full new magnex stainless exhaust with a four branch manifold. I wonder if there went to the bother and expense of doing all this would there have done head work? I hope lOL Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hafslund 0 Posted December 10, 2006 Could it be the spacer between the sump and the block that's missing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richystran 7 3 Cars Posted December 10, 2006 dont think it, but will have a look tomorrow, is a 1.9 sump flat all across with no deeper bit??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted December 10, 2006 yes it's flat. I suppose the spacerplate is left out or someone has been modding evenmore and fitted a 2.0 sump AND a spacerplate and lowered the oilpickup. But that should be visible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richystran 7 3 Cars Posted December 10, 2006 Suppose they could have hilgie! I wouldnt be mechanically minded mate but i can deffinitly see that the oilpickup is far lower than my other engine. What would that advantages of doing this by the way? My mate is going to modify the sump tomorrow anyway but would rather have left it alone and got the right one! Which 2.0 wngine are you talking about mate? Cheers Richy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whizzer71 0 Posted December 10, 2006 Definitely sounds like the alloy spacer plate is missing,I think this is also fitted to give some rigidity to the block because of the extra torque created by the 1.9 engine over the 1.6 ?,and obviously the 2.0 ltr engines do not need this because of the cast iron block.

richystran 7 3 Cars Posted December 10, 2006 thanks for the replies lads im going out to the garage shortly to have a look, i reckon that the spacer plate is missing off the car i bought but there still is one on the other engine and we just over looked it or just didnt notice it! Ill keep you's updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
