hi,on my volvo v40 2003 diesel sump i had to remove 26 bolts...did you remove the 4 deep seated ones....but that would still leave 1 bolt short....but of course i dont know which gearbox you have....mine is the m56 gearbox(renault engine).....see pdf attachment from our dear friend GATOS:thumbs_up:

What engine and gearbox do you have? And what year is you car?

Lordy you sound like me on Vectra C :swoon:

lol doggy. Some things never change....:) How are you btw?

Howdo,,,big thanks to neanderthal for the PDF doc on my engine,,2001,,1.9 DiTD,, D4192T3,,,+my gearbox is M65,,,looking at the pdf ,I now no that I ave to remove cross member to get at the bolts that I've missed,,,it tell's u how to do this,,but the pic's for the cross member is missing,???,,so if anybody got pic's of it,,thanks....am sure I can do it without,,,😮😰😨😱😵,,,,so again thanks to all..😯

you will have a bit of job putting the cross member back on even with a jack at one end.its getting it to line it back up,and the bolts can be quite rusty.and you can even cross thread them.thank gatos for the pdf,as he was the one who uploaded it a while ago...if you decide to replace the rubber gasket,a genuine one for the sump was £36 from volvo.good luck

Howdo,all,,,,we'll I am a happy man today,,,,😁,, as I got sump off and got the bent locking pin out,,straightened it out,,put back in to get TDC,,,,,as there was no pic off crossmember in the PDF doc,,,I did a search on this forum and found a post by neanderthal back in 2014,jul 5,,,sump removal and clearn,,so thanks again neanderthal for that and gatos for the PDF doc,,,,it had all I needed to no,to do the job,,,ere r a few pic,s of it all.....Thanks

Im good thanks, got bored spending loads on the cdti adding bits so just got a loaded VXR sorted the mapping with one of the guys and added a few things as by then i know how to add them easy.

Still love the Volvo's and have wet dreams looking at the V70R promo vids and wishing Vauxhall made the IDS+ on these as good. Mines got Bilstein B8's so im not that bothered but still.

sorry about that.....a while ago i lost pictures and messages to some of my posts and i thought i had lost the sump ones....so thanks for that:thumbs_up:.
