Sump removal

[robi1000]

I forgot and I don't want to try and be disappointed. Can I remove the sump with engine in the car?

Yes you can, need to drop the subframe slightly to be able to get it off though

[robi1000]

That's what I was afraid of. Could I just lift the engine a little bit (2 cm) by removing the cambelt side engine mount and jacking it up (or preferably using a winch)?

[16v_paddy]

That should work, a couple of cm is enough, you just need a little bit more space where it's closest to the subframe, you'll see exactly where I mean when you've got all the bolts undone 7 you're trying to manoeuvre the sump off

Tnx for your help mate!
