hey ,
we are planning a sump reduction on a 2003 f4i PC35.
According to my calculations i would be able to reduce sump height by 35mm which is achieved by routing the relief valve and modifying the strainer.
this results in an overall volume reduction of 800 ml of oil in the entire system .(we are adding baffles too )
I would like to know
- if the loss of 800ml of oil cause any issues according to u guys .
- i am going to overfill a little to compensate , would there be a problem if the crank vr is completely submerged in oil.
dnt want to take a chance , engines in india cost at about 6-7k euros.
