Hi, I am doing a few jobs on my 1999 Abingdon 1.8 VVC and I want to take off the sump to clean it etc, can anyone tell me if this has a gasket or does it just use seal The?
Many thanks

Re: Sump gasket or not
Hi,
From memory there is no gasket as such, in paper gasket. When I took the sump off mine, and went too replace, I used the sealant that you use on the bearing ladder ladder.

No paper gasket there.
