Q:
recently upgraded to 2.0 16v
i have found that when going for a 'drive'
taking corners and roundabout quickly often causes the oil buzzer to go off
and then stop once back on a straight.
oil is new and so is oil pump.
is this just case of needing a baffled sump and whats the cheepest option??
thanks in advance
A:
What grade of oil are you running? My Mk2 2.0 16v gets chucked round corners with no problems. I'm running synta silver oil.
A:
same as...synta silver all the way.
oil is at bout half full....could it just need a little more?
A:
ive seen a couple on ebay recently
like this!
I would put one on anyway if i were you-better to be safe than sorry. my project will be getting one.
A:
you could make one yourself if you`re handy with a welder. its fairly simple, took me about 2 hrs to do mine, just make sure you leave enough of a gap at the bottom of the baffles so the oil can flow some. plus it costs next to bugger all to do it.
A:
i tried to get hold of a baffled sump from jabbasport over the summer, they said that they were trying to order a number from bahn brenner in america. i will try them over the next couple of days to see if there is any as im still eager for one. good look
A:
here you go lads

Did you fit the plastic baffle to the oil pick up on the pump ??
A:
Interesting thread chaps...
Been thinking about getting one for my valver as the I think the sump nut is threaded - There is a constant bead of oil on the nut!
Would it be worthwhile fitting a windage tray as well - What does this actually do?

just helps even more with preventing the oil splashing about and draining back to the pump pickup.
A:
Got issues with pressure switches or somat, i tracked my stock valver with no issues & many many more have tracked & even on slicks with no baffled sumps with no probs, the stock 16v plastic baffle on oil pump is a must tho.
However, has been lots of discussion on baffled sumps on here if you wanna go that route- use the search, some pics of mine are on here somewhere.
A:
guess its worth changes sensors over before i go down the route of changing sump really

Try filling the oil up to max! It will definatley help.
On the A series for example they say to overfill it slightly and there are no detrimental effects it just prevents starvation...

A:
you don't need the plastic baffle if you've got a baffled sump
