oil and filter change and a big can of worms - alex76 - 15-05-2016
hey folks I am planning on giving my 1.9 td a oil and filter change tomorrow but I have noticed the sump is leaking so gasket change is also on the cards I have also noticed a pump is in the way of removing the sump which makes me think changing the drive belt too as its fairly old if it means slacking the belt. so any thoughts tips advise will be appreciated
Thanks guys

That's probably the air con pump, if your air con doesn't work you might as well leave it off and fit a shorter belt!

Is it a steel or alloy sump? Never had much luck sealing a steel sump again as they tend to warp easily when removed

tbh I am not sure as it has years of road shit and oil covering it but I did read a bit about sealants and gaskets most of the car has original parts so I would imagine it would be steel

Magnet test.. if it's alloy magnet won't stick

This shit works wonders for it, done a couple of steel XUD sumps with it.
