Sump remove - Polo Volkswagen Cars & Trucks

depending on where the sump is you may have to remove other components or bracing to allow you to take out the sump if you've removed all of the bolts and it still won't come out.

It's pretty easy but you'll need to work under the vehicle, so make sure that the vehicle is on ramps or axle stands. Don't work under the vehicle just on a jack as it can slip & you can be killed.! Run the engine for 5 minutes to warm up the oil. Remove the sump plug & drain the oil into a suitable container. Remove all the bolts which hold the sump onto the bottom of the engin & drop it down. (sometimes there are additional sump bolts near the crankshaft which are on the side of the engine) You may need to prize the sump off. Do this slowly & carefully to avoid damage to yourself, the engine & to avoid twisting the sump tray. The oil pickup will now be seen. Remove the 1 or 2 bolts securing it. Wash it with degreasant or hot water & detergent Reftitting is the opposite of dismantling, BUT, You will need to clean-up both of the mating-faces of the sump & bottom of the engine. When they're clean, use a new sump gasket & a good oil-sealing gasket-sealant. Follow the instructions on the sealant about drying times. Bolt the sump back in position, using the correct bolt sequence & torque tightness. Replace the sump bolt. Fit a new oild filter & refill with new, clean oil.

There are two ways of changing the oil, and both involve running the engine until hot first.

Firstly, don't forget to have the spares (this includes enough oil to fill the sump -- find this quantity in the vehicle's instruction-book --and filter) and the necessary tools (oil-filter remover belt or long, thick screwdriver, sump-plug key and bowl) to hand.

The first way is to put a bowl which will contain enough to hold the lubricant under the sump and carefully releasing the sump plug. Do wear plastic (not rubber, as these dissolve in oil) whilst you're doing this as used oil can be carcinogenic. Now (remember the engine is hot), carefully loosen the sump plug. Put the bowl underneath the sump and remove the sump plug. It is more important to avoid the boiling oil than to catch the sump plug, which can be fished out later, when cool. Once cool, remove the bowl and replace the sump plug.

The second way is to go to a garage which offers free oil changes (you only buy the oil) and they will put a tube down your dipstick aperture and vacuum the oil out. This is not as good as allowing the oil to drip through the sump drain hole.

Now remove the oil filter using the strap or by piercing the old filter with a screwdriver and using that as a lever and turning the filter anticlockwise.

Put a little oil on the seal of the new filter and screw this onto the seating by hand. DO NOT TIGHTEN BEYOND HAND-TIGHT.

Refill the sump with the manufacturer's recommended type and quantity of clean oil, though there may be a little residual oil in the engine, so do check before overfilling. Do not overfill.

Put a piece of sticky paper in the driver's door jamb with the date and mileage at which you changed the oil and filter.

Look around the diff and you will see where it is mounted to the chassis/subframe place a mobile jack under the diff and remove those mount bolts. Lower the diff down enough to get the sump pan off.

sump what sump.
are you asking an engine question?
what is wrong?, tell the story, or at least a tiny hint so we can get on the same page..
my wild guess is the engine oil pan (sump) and not tranny or other
sump like objects. or other many fluid containers all very sump like.
but the answer is in the FSM, buy one, and read how to remove anything on the car.
here state side we have alldata.com and dont need books until
we break 10 parts and then read the authortive manual.

Remove Exhaust pipe, remove all bolts around the sump. (10mm size).
Sump will still stick, because there is no gasket. Its like glued on with silastic, which is acting as gasket. Get a flat screwdriver in the gap between block and sump and leaver it carefully away. Do not bend the sump too much, use a knife to cut the silastc piece by piece. Clean the surfaces well and put new silastic on to refit.

how cut off maltipals traeking systim

cannot say i have done one but the golf and polo come off on the earlier models ,perhaps its a gearbox out and flywheel off job which means its a drop out the bottom the complete unit ,i just do not know sorry

you drain as much engine oil from them sump as you can by undoing the 13mm sump plug. you then undo all the bolts holding the sump onto the engine
