im driving round in a pooey hyndai coupe and when had mot, got an advisor saying "pourous sump" wtf,

made out of bloody cornflake packets this thing...

 

Yes, it's when it rusts through on the outside.

 

Quite common mate, ive even seen rocker covers go to.

 

bloody hell, pissin car

 

It's only cheap steel, shouldn't cost much for a new one.

 

Common problem with Hyundais!!

 

 

weld it i would. on a hyundi.lol. but yeah its not uncommon to hear of a porus sup or rocker cover for that matter.

 

usualy are quite cheap
but i've had a few that are dealer only
still anyfin upto 150ish sometimes

 

alloys go porous as well

 

Didnt Audi have a load of alloy blocks go pourous some years back?

 

I carnt belive you havent heard of it before.Bloody hell mate you havewnt lived lol.

 

i hadnto ps:

 

Back in the day: bought my rsturbo, took it home, changed the oil, filter, air filter, plugs etc etc etc as soon as I got it. Left it in the garage over night to come back to find the porous sump had leaked all the new castrol rs over the floor.... had to then work out how to do a sump on an rsturbo in a garage with only a jack.

Not much fun when u just got the thing!
