FORGE Baffled Sump for Audi VW & SEAT 1.8T Transverse Engines FMBSMP18T

Product Description

The much loved 1.8T engine has proved itself as being not only

being very capable in producing high power figures but in being very

reliable at the same time. The key to this reliability is the

lubrication system, which can quickly become overwhelmed when cars are

driven quickly – or on track – causing oil starvation. Under extreme

acceleration, braking or cornering, the oil can momentarily run out of

the sump under centrifugal force, causing a temporary starvation through

the oil-ways, putting critical bearings and bores at risk of damage.

For those with bottomless pockets, a ‘dry sump’ system is the ideal

preventative solution. But for those in the real world, our neatly

engineered solution, based around a brand new OE-spec sump pan is the

perfect alternative. Carefully configured baffles and Viton oil control

valves ensure that the lubricant can easily move around the engine, but

retains a minimum sump capacity, even under the most severe of ‘g’

forces. The relatively soft Viton plates react far quicker than

equivalent metal flaps – which are often used on lesser alternatives –

and have been designed to withstand the rigours of the high temperatures

of oil and its contaminants.

Our 1.8T Baffled Sump (FMBSMP18T) is a truly effective upgrade. An

essential item for any race, track or tuned car its makes a sensible

investment. It’s certainly cheaper than an engine rebuild! Our baffled

sump comes complete with an oil level sensor blanking plate if you do

not have a sensor fitted.
