    Can I remove the sump from my 3.0L TDI with the engine in the car? I know I have to remove the splash guard but can the sump be removed easily? I reason I need to remove it is there's a rust bubble in the corner and I'm worried if this rusts anymore the oil will all leak out! See photo attached. I'm thinking whether a local workshop could grind and weld this up or do I need to source a replacement sump cover?Oil Service 37,098 miles with Rust Spot.jpg

    Hi,

    I can’t answer you question because I don’t know the answer but you may want to ask at your local dealer. In my experience they are normally happy to offer advice.

    Is there any warranty left on the car? If so get it looked under that.

    If not it doesn't look to be very deep. Wire brush on a drill plus a dab of Hammerite would probably stabilise it.
