Basically want to go lower on my 1.9 tdi Mk4 golf estate but dont want to be emptying the contents of the sump across the road. Ive been looking about and i seem to have two options engine mount spacers/raisers or a shallow sump. Any advice or help would be really really welcome. Thanks Tidy! |

I don't know mk4s very well but i reckon raising the engine would be a pain in the arse.... Stuff like exhaust, inter cooler piping, rad hoses, would all need sorting to.... A dry sump would be good but prob pricey I would make a solid skid plate that protected everything and run around all day on that sparking off every stone I could see |

Cheers for the advice but the cars now probably gone forever as someone crashed into the back of me not looking too good at the mo. |
