1.8T Shallow Sump - Is it worth getting one for the LCR?

These don't fit LCs?

These don't fit LCs?

Lol suppose they would but aimed @ LCR owners as thats what i have and with kit + drop wondering if these are worth a go. Going to use one for my MK2 as these 1.8t engines sit stupidly low in them!

 

[JDUB 20V]

Anyone?

depends how low you are. are you scraping your sump? bfi engine mounts raise the engine up a bit so could do those, could use a sump guard if your just doing it as a precautionary thing

As above... only something id fit if i had to.

Baffled sump is what id like.

Not scraping at the moment although there seem to be grazing near sump plug, car is lowered and plan is to go lower but didnt want to risk damaging sump just incase.

 

[James D1]

may be worth doing then because worse case scenario is it will spill oil out at high speed and you'll dry out quicker than a 90 year old granny.

just measure how much ground clearnace your gaining when fitting, kits are about 175? rather pay that than a new engine

The stupid square speed bumps do my nut in!

Just go over them with one wheel,should be fine.

Thats what i have to do, annoying but lowered comes first!

The seatsport style ones (I believe Alex now makes them) have thick plate welded on the bottom.
Its no sump guard but does offer more protection

INA do a dry sump kit. Have a look over on club GTI.
