Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

dieselgeeks Panzer Sumpguard for MkV
How many cracked sumps has your mech replaced/repaired? I know a fair few Golf drivers & have only ever heard of 1 sump breaking.Last edited by brad; 25-10-2010, 02:15 PM.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

Only going by what my mechanic said.... and the gt sport is 15mm lower and we live in the country...potholes that any fisherman would be pleased cast into.I've found a Unibrace which will protect and stiffen the underside not shure if it actually protects the sump thoughLast edited by blackbart; 25-10-2010, 12:18 PM.Comment
