Anglo-Frenchman Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Hi, I'm shortly replacing my oil pump and am not sure if the 200tdi has a sump gasket to replace. The Haynes book says replace where necessary but this suggests that some are not fitted. I cannot see any evidence of one on the vehicle so could it just be a case of joint sealer? The pump comes with a small gasket and sealing ring but these are obviously where it mounts onto the bottom of the block. Ged Quote

No sump gasket as such to speak of. Matt Quote
Les Henson Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Only RTV sealant in my eperience - even the earlier TD engines were sealant although a series sump gasket fits. Les Quote
