Removing –  Separate the under body protection. –  Remove inner front right wheel housing moulding → Bodywork, exterior fitting work; Rep. gr.66 –  Remove the exhaust pipe (Altea - Altea XL - Leon) → Chapter. –  Remove front exhaust pipe (Ibiza) → Chapter. –  Place the oil extractor -VAG 1782- underneath the engine and drain the engine oil.   Note Please observe requirements for disposal.

–  Disconnect the 3-pin connector from the oil level and temperature sender -G266--2-. –  Unscrew the bolt -1- from the coolant pipe holder. –  Loosen both fastening bolts -3- and remove the cover plate.

–  Loosen and remove the bolts -1, 2- and -arrows -diagonally. –  Remove oil sump. It may be necessary to release sump by tapping lightly with a rubber head hammer.   WARNING Protect eyes against injuries. Wear safety goggles. –  Remove sealant residue on cylinder block with a flat scraper.

–  Remove the sealant residues at the oil sump using a rotating brush, e.g. a hand drill machine with plastic brush (wear protective goggles). –  Clean sealing surfaces. They must be free of oil and grease. Installing   Note t  Observe use-by date of sealant. t  The sump must be installed within 5 minutes after applying the silicone sealant. t  The oil sump is attached more gently and securely if M6 threaded pins are inserted in two points in the cylinder block flange.   Caution Protect lubrication system and bearings against contamination. Cover exposed parts of the engine.

–  Cut off tube nozzle at upper marking (nozzle Ø: approx. 3 mm). –  Apply the silicone-based sealant to the clean contact surface of the oil sump, proceeding as shown. The strip of sealant must: t  2...3 mm thick. t  Apply along the inner edge of the bolt holes -arrows-.   Note t  The sealant bead must not be thicker. Otherwise the excess sealant may enter the oil sump, and obstruct the strainer in the oil intake pipe. t  Use new bolts for the oil sump. –  Fit the oil sump immediately and lightly tighten all oil sump screws, tightening torque → Anchor. –  Front exhaust pipe installation (Altea, Altea XL, Leon) → Chapter. –  Install the front exhaust pipe (Ibiza) → Chapter.   Note After fitting sump, allow sealant to dry for approx. 30 minutes. Only then should the engine be refilled with oil. Perform remaining installation in reverse order of removal. Tightening torques   Note Replace the bolts tightened using goniometrics. –  Tighten the bolts in 3 stages in the sequence indicated:

stage:	Bolts	Tightening torque / tightening angle
1.	-1, 2- and -arrows-	8 Nm
2.	-1, 2-	Turn 45° further
3.	-Arrows -	Turn 90° further
