oil pump north south vs east west

[alex g]

when i bought my kr 16v it was being built up for a passat ( north south engine)i now presume the oil pump is different as the windage tray i have would nt fit over the oil pump.

can anyone shed some light on this for me

The pump and sump are different.

What Passat though? as early 90s 16v Passats with the 9a were FWD transverse engines like a golf.

this one was built up for a north souther as the sump is ass about

yeah 8v audis and passats have different oil pickups and sumps to golfs.

I know a few golfs that are running around with the audi sump, to no detriment, so it doesnt matter much, unless you are trying to get a flash windage tray on ;)

yer but you know how low my ride is going to be and with the plug now sitting on the front edge it is tre dangerous
