Sump Removal - 2001 1.8T Passat

Help!

Oil pressure warning light keeps coming on. Done a sensor change, oil and filter change and still coming on. Trying to remove sump to check for oil pickup pipe blockage.

We have got the sump un bolted, the front bumper removed, but can't get the sump away from the cross member of the chassis. Can anyone advise easiest way to do this.

Thanks

You've got to lower the subframe i'm afraid (or hoist the engine up..) Neither of which are easy 'driveway' jobs.

The whole job inc' cleaning oil pick up pipe and testing pump etc c£300. Well worth it IMHO.
