baffeled sumps ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

tony_danza:
Have you had the sump off to have a look, it may already have something??

gillm:
i must admitt i have not . i was thinking about buying 1 from vag and making my own .

tony_danza:
It'd be interesting to see inside one, but if VWR aren't using them it may be simply because they're not required?

I can tell you I got no oil lights at 130 around the Rockingham bowl, if that helps?

jonnyc:
I agree that it would give peace of mind.. Have you looked into if the Seat Leon Supercopa runs a standard or modified sump?

If not then really I would say dont worry about it.. If they do, then that could well be the easiest way of getting yourself a baffled sump..

My thinking is that you would have to generate a reasonable amount of G for a sustained period to ever have a problem as it is.. Something that wouldnt be possible on road legal tyres..

jabbalad:
the mk2 supercorpa's run a standard sump
There isnt really much room to put any baffles in with how low the balancer/oil pickup assembly hangs into the sump anyway.

I think even for pice of mind you will be fine how it is.... the mk2 supercorpa's have massive ammounts of grip with all the aero and geometry changes, so even with slicks im 99% sure you will be safe   :smiley:
