I have been looking for a sump for a Grand Vitara for months, its leaking like a sieve, just patching the holes with JB weld. If you know which engine the car has, im sure you will find a new sump on rockauto for £100 to £150 delivered.

Checked rockauto and they dont have any:( just the usual filters and gaskets but no sump.

here you go.... give them a call to check stock, if they haven't got stock they will try and source one for you.

As the prices of a new one are such a joke, I'd get the sump off, clean it thoroughly, put a pint of petrol in it and light it. Clean it again and line the thing with some epoxy resin -don't let it get on the edges where the gasket goes. Make sure the sump plug still runs in and out easily and refit.

Didnt even think of getting it plated,think this would be best option.Where would i take a sump to get plated?would a garage do it or is there somewhere else i would need to go?
Its my sons first car and he does a lot of motorway travelling so he wants to get everything that needs fixed done.
We always had manuals for our own cars so hubby did majority of repairs himself but cars seem more difficult to get into now and cant find a manual for the ignis.

If you know anyone who prefers to own older (repairable) or classic cars, they will no doubt know a handy chap who does their welding when needed, doddle of a job for them to plate the sump once its off and cleaned up.

Well, you probably wouldn't be worrying over driving again anyway.

I'm not entirely sure Nobbynutless if you are an over active troll, someone to be pitied more than scorned, or just an enthusiastic, but clueless contributor.
Porous sumps not only rust, then leak, but what is left of them is sodden with old engine oil. If you attempt to repair them with anything less than scrupulous attention to cleanliness, they are going to leak again.
Perhaps you wanted me to say put a match to it and claim the insurance?

This is perfectly true.

I think what he means is suggesting that someone pour a pint of petrol into an open container in the summer, and then try to light it is somewhat irresponsible. :eek:

The remove and get someone to fix it suggestion is probably best, although I would remove it, descale it, and repair any areas that had rusted though (you can tell from the inside) before giving it a good coat of metal paint.

A new one is available from Suzuki (if you can find any dealers, they are very rare now) at an eye-watering price.

As just said by the previous poster. However, I will also say that one of us suggested setting fire to a pint of petrol, and also used the words clueless and enthusiastic. If thats really how you imagine you clean a sump, I hope the fire brigades are on standby for your BBQ.

why use petrol? oil flush will do just a good a job if you let it swill in the sump for a bit once you've taken it off.


I wouldnt advocate use of lit petrol on a aluminum sump (which most sups are made of these days).


when a sump is warped around the rim no matter how much you try your not going to get it to seal.


Some people don't like the look of welded plate on a sump it makes it look untidy, when selling I certainly think that its taken a hit emptied all over the floor and run dry of oil and the engine could be damaged internally and that's the reason for sale.


I know the MSE way to do it would be to try and repair it, but if your anything like me I prefer to just replace a broken sump, some are not as expensive as people would think. where you could spend £35-40 getting someone to weld it, and £10 on a new gasket (where fitted) a new sump may just well cost the same and come with a gasket and sump plug.
