What This Product Does

The sump forms the lower oil-containing section of the gearbox. Its joint with the transmission housing must seal correctly to retain the fluid required by the transmission.

Functions

• Contains transmission oil within the gearbox sump.
• Closes the lower transmission housing.
• Provides a drain point for fluid removal during servicing.
  
  

Technical Details

• Product reference: 97032102500.
• Brand: OE Match.
• Supplied components: oil pan, drain plug and bolts.
• Internal diagram description: complete oil sump.
• Sealing compound reference to order separately: 00004330573, quantity 1.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

• Transmission-fluid droplets beneath the vehicle.
• Oil staining along the sump-to-housing joint.
• Visible impact damage or distortion of the pan.
• Persistent seepage around damaged drain-plug threads.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters

A damaged sump or compromised sealing surface can allow transmission fluid to escape. Replacement addresses the affected housing component, while inspection of the adjoining surfaces and drain connection helps identify other causes of leakage. Shifting faults alone do not establish that the pan needs replacement.

FAQs

Is a separate gasket required?
No. The supplied installation note specifies sealing compound; order one 00004330573 separately.

Are the drain plug and bolts supplied?
Yes, both are included with this oil pan.

What should be checked during installation?
Inspect the mating surfaces and drain connection, then follow the correct transmission-specific sealing, tightening and fluid-level procedures.

• Lubricate internal components to reduce wear and friction.
  
• Regulate temperature by dispersing heat generated during gear shifts.
  
• Filter debris and metal particles, ensuring clean fluid circulation.
  
• Maintain hydraulic pressure stability for smooth and consistent gear engagement.

This aluminium replacement sump provides a warp-free sealing surface, optimal thermal conductivity, and OE-fit dimensions for a simple bolt-on installation.

Why PDK Oil Sumps Fail
The standard composite (plastic) transmission pans found in many performance cars are susceptible to:

• Warping from heat cycles, leading to fluid leaks and improper sealing.
  
• Cracking or distortion caused by torque stress or road debris impact.
  
• Thread wear from repeated fluid services.
  
• Built-in non-replaceable filters, requiring complete pan replacement during each service.

Additionally, neglecting transmission fluid changes can cause:

• Poor shifting performance or hesitation.
• Overheating and accelerated clutch wear.
• Contaminant buildup, leading to internal component damage.

By upgrading to a durable aluminium sump with a filter, you eliminate the weaknesses of the standard design and ensure consistent reliability.

Why It Should Be Replaced or Upgraded
Replacing or upgrading to the aluminium PDK oil sump provides measurable benefits in performance, reliability, and maintenance:

• Serviceable Filter Design – Unlike the standard setup, you can replace the filter independently, saving time and cost during fluid changes.
  
• Long-Term Durability – Made from high-strength alloy aluminium, offering resistance to warping, cracking, and corrosion.
  
• Guaranteed Fitment – Manufactured to precise OE pan dimensions for correct clearances and easy installation.
  
• Enhanced Heat Dissipation – Aluminium dissipates heat more efficiently than plastic, extending fluid and component life.
  
• Extended Transmission Life – Protects against contamination and wear for smoother shifting and reduced long-term wear.

Every unit undergoes quality control at each step of production, ensuring the highest level of precision, sealing integrity, and performance reliability.
