Technical New sump required

[ricky952]

Changed my oil today , sump plug came out easy, also back in easy but wont tighten just goes round and round , filled with oil and it drips , phoned fiat salesman liam says he will do a 10% discount £211 , anyone here know where to source one apart from fiat,

try find-a-part or 24/7 spares, will be second hand but about half price the sumps are pretty expensive.

Know the feeling... although I was quoted £270 ish ( I think) !! all I need is the plate off the bottom... which apparently is no longer sold on its own...! hope to get mine welded when I get chance to get it into the garage... been a bit busy to think about fixing the car for the last few weeks...

If it's just the thread thats gone. Is it posssible to fit a helecoil??

You can get a sump from a Punto HGT as well as a Barchetta. A few people are braking Bs on ebay so give one a call.

Stuff that £200 !!! wow The good news is that it looks like you can get the sump off:

Fiat Barchetta 1800cc 16v
Fiat Punto Mk2 1800cc 16v
Fiat Punto Mk3 1800cc 16v

Call around you will get one for a lot less then £200 ​

Send a message to Henk at barchettaparts.com. If he doesn't have one, I bet he can find one for you.

since it looks like the thread is sh*fted anyways, why no try a slightly bigger plug and washer?

 

[ricky952]

i shall find out on friday while my inner cv`s are being done if the sump can be tapped out to a larger thread or not

sump is all sealed up with no leaks , the guys at hi-q have drained the oil overnight put the sump plug back in with some red coloured gasket stuff got the sump plug to nip up and put some more of the gasket stuff around the plug next time i change the oil though will need a new sump but now have time to look

 

[Alan.D]

Nice one, I quite like Hi-Q they do seem to want to please.

 

[ricky952]

the hi-q i use alan the mechanic there is a bit of a fiat specialist he is doing my inner cv`s on monday

 

[docorangepeel]

I would use this time to keep an eye out for a bargin sump on eBay.de

 

[desert rat]

will keep an eye on it... if I can find it.......

 

[ricky952]

Found a seller on ebay selling a marea engine , i take it the sump from this will fit the barchetta and i would have spares left over

cannot get the link to work but that is the item number on ebay

[Alan.D]

Ask for a pic of the sump first as it has probably been standing with the full weight of the engine on the sump

I managed to damage the plate that sits on the bottom of the sump and whilest trying to get a replacement was told by barchettaparts.com that there are 2 different ones available. Not sure if the rest of the sump is the same but would be worth checking before you buy one.

I ended up just getting the plate welded. Has worked fine. still no leaks

Another option may be to get a helicoil fitted to repair the thread.
