The sump plug mystery? - JJtheHITMAN - 03-12-2013
Why do the hdi's have two sump plugs, one otop of the other? No one seems to know? Iv heard some crap theory's but nothing solid?..........anyone?
RE: The sump plug mystery? - Toms306 - 03-12-2013
Don't know for sure but I always assumed it was for a sensor that was used on other cars with that sump, oil temp or something.

What he said to be fair.. more than likely for oil temp

If it's the same sump as the XSI/'6 its for the oil temp sensor
RE: The sump plug mystery? - Piggy - 03-12-2013
the 2.1 sump has three

Iv never seen any psa sump with a sensor located there though. I dunno. Possibly the designer dropped a bollock and realised he could only drain half the oil so added a lower one as a last ditch attempt . Tbf the blank for a sensor explanation seems more viable though.

so you can pick which angle to drain your oil at . . .

I think there is a set volume of oil left if you have the car perfectly flat (ie on a ramp) and drain from the top one too.

Might be a mad suggestion but, is it a breather plug?
RE: The sump plug mystery? - Just Sean - 05-12-2013
I always take the filler cap of for a breather when i drain one out
