Daniel Andrew Lowe 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi..I own a 1978 Golf Mk.1 and this has a Corrado VR6 2.9litre engine installed. Everything works perfect, and the car runs very smooth. My problem is this. Since the engine compartment in the Mk.1 is quite low, the oil sump sits down very far. I have a complete coilover suspension on the car, but since the sump sits so low, it is very difficult to get around places, without it scratching the tarmac. The car is not even lowered very much. I have heard, that you can mount a US style sump on the car, and this lets the sump sit higher and closer to the engine, but the pump has to be changed. Can anyone confirm this theory ? Thank youDaniel Andrew LoweDenmark Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 3.2l sump is shallower but you will need the 3.2 oil pump as well tho. There is something about it on here. I'll have a quick look for ya Link to post Share on other sites
