Hi guys,
Anyone here removed the sump before? I get the oil lack message alot which I think comes from the sensor in the sump so I want to get in there clean things up and clean/replace the strainer. Looked in the maintenance guides and nothing there so firstly:
- is it a pig of a job or fairly easy?
- paper gasket or sealant for refitting?
- torque values for the sump bolts if known.
TIA :y

Fairly easy & straight forward to remove the lower sump pan
I was given (sold ::)) a grey instant gasket/glue in a mini silicon sealant type tube from Vauxhall, stuck like the proverbial to a blanket. ;)
Mr Haynes says 8 metric newton thingies/ 6 lbft and then angle tighten a further 30o
The wires to the sensor were quite brittle, I had to resolder one of them as it broke at the switch

I havent checked the connections physically, just visually and they looked ok. Maybe I should get the multimeter on it and wiggle some wires......

The connections INSIDE the sump. :y There's 5" or 6" of wire between the plug at the back/top of the sump and the actual level switch. :y
