Part number:
16-9520
Your cost:
$60.00
Description:
Help prevent harmful oil starvation by installing this 'mini' sump to increase oil capacity.
Kit comes with 3 different size pick-up tubes, studs, nuts, washers and gaskets.
Your existing drain plug can be re-used or use part# 8856 magnetic drain plug for a tad bit extra protection.
This won't hold a substantial amount of oil, but it will hold enough to keep the oil pick-up submerged.
Hangs down 1 5/8" more then the stock bottom of your engine.
Use this sump if you are also going to use exhaust 3604.
A few things you should know about this mini sump kit, derived from Doghouse installing this on the engine shown:
The extension tubes are too long (same tubes in all the sump kits) for the sump because of the boss in the bottom, which accepts the drain plug. You must shorten your tube by the height of the boss to avoid interference.
The hose clamp supplied is not desirable, get a better one.
A screen CAN'T BE USED with this sump.
The nuts supplied are fine for 'double nutting' to install the studs supplied, but should not be used for final install. Use the 'cap style' nut as vw intended. The threads are stronger. New studs & new cap nuts equal less chance to leak.
The drain nut threads in the sumps boss are a little loose. Apply gasket sealer to the drain plug threads and tighten to snug.
As with any sump, make certain you are comfortable with the ground clearance you'll have after install.
