ECS Tuning 1.8 20v Turbo Hybrid Sump Conversion Kit
This kit enables oil pans to be changed from the standard low lying, fragile aluminum version to the new hybrid version that offers more clearance and durable impact zone. This kit has enhancements over the original VW design including a specifically engineered adapter that allows you to use your stock turbo oil drain tube. This ECS adapter has a tough, clear anodized finished & is made from 6061 aluminum to ensure longevity. The ECS adapter was optimized to provide a continuous downward sloping plane for oil drainage into the crankcase. This aids the flow of the oil out of the turbo and prevents oil drain restriction. This kit also includes all needed gaskets & sealant for the job, which the original VW designed conversion did not.
Kit includes the following components:
- Hybrid oil sump with drain plug
- Oil drain adapter
- Gaskets for the lower turbo drain tube
- New drain tube securing bolts
- Oil pickup tube
Notes:
This oil sump is not compatible with the standard oil level sensor. When converting to this sump, if your vehicle has an oil level sensor, this will need to be coded out in Vagcom / VCDS.
Lower Steel section of the oil pan will need to be sealed and torqued to correct specification prior to installation.
