D5252t oil sump removal?

john123456 · Jul 2nd, 2022, 10:41

Hi I need to remove the sump on my 850 tdi to change my oil pump and there are 2 bolts up high right by the flywheel.

I have read you access them by turning the engine over till you see them through a gap however my engine is partly stripped and has no cambelt fitted.

Does any body have any tips on what the best way would be to get them out?

It's been several years since I removed mine but if I remember correctly you can just about get enough purchase with a long (6mm?) Allen key ball end through the aperture. The danger, John, is that you jeopardise putting excess pressure against the valves whilst doing so. I know, it's a pain, but it would be wise to reassemble the old cam belt to prevent damaging said valves. It would be a greater pain having to take the head off...unnecessarily

Why are you changing the oil pump?

I believe he wishes to replace the oil pump gasket.

Cheers Liam… So he wants to fix something that ain’t broken and unlikely to break or need any attention….

He says the engine is partly stripped and the cam belt is off, so it looks like he is doing a major overhaul.
