Hi all,
To cut a long story short, i have had intermittent low oil pressure and decided to remove the sump and clean the oil delivery tube. I went to local dealers to get oil, filter, "o" ring for delivery tube and sump gasket. I was told that the lower sump uses a sealant as a gasket and it is expensive and advised me to get "Elring Dirko S HT" as it is the same stuff but cheaper.
On un-bolting the sump i discoverd that there is a rubber coated gasket and no sign of any sealant. When i bought the car it came with full service history and all other work had been done at main dealers. I checked through everything and there was nothing about having the sump gasket replaced. This has lead to be believing the gasket was fitted from new.
My dilemma is do i use the sealant or the gasket?
Thanks
