western Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The sealant Turners sell for Tdi sumps works fine if the preparation & cleaning is done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Don't be tempted by 'if some is good,more is better' . I found a pile of rtv shards under the oil strainer, it must have limited the flow somewhat, when I took the sump off mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaklander Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Yes that’s the one he referred to. I have used it too and it seals well and the nozzle can be cleaned out so it continues to be used for other sealing jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
