i am a newbie to this site as i damaged my original sump on my vrs i thought id find out how common it was i might have lowered it to much i found a company by chance called totalvag who supplied me with a reinforced sump for my car hopefully i ll get round to fitting it when weather gets betta:thumbup:

yeah these boys are great, i ordered mine on thursday, been told it will be ready tomorrow! Need to order my coilovers now! Any chance you have pictures of yours yet?

There was a thread running a bit ago about sump guards (again) but it seems to have fizzled out. I'm just hoping Forge or another proven manufacturer can come up with one.

anyone got a website by chance??

Thanks

found it after a search - interesting - they suggest using spacers to raise the engine height and so protect the sump. Also a comment that at 30mph - can cause more damage...performancevwmag.com :: View topic - reinforced sumps for 1.8t engines

yep i read that it was all about a chap who claims that a reinforced sump damaged his gearbox highly unlikely seems like somebody just hadnt thought of the idea first! a sump wouldnt cause the engine and gearbox to be ripped off at 30mph if its true no one would drive anywhere these items are for sale as protection of the sump/engine not designed to skate across ramps.

Website for total vag is being made as we speak i gave them a call today, they have only been open 2 weeks, so everything is very much in the process of being sorted. But both the lads have come from other companies before setting up by themselves.
