09B321359 Volkswagen OIL SUMP

This thing basically holds the gearbox oil. It’s a reservoir, keeps everything lubricated. It also helps with cooling the oil a little bit, dissipating some heat. And importantly, it often houses the oil pickup tube—that’s the straw that pulls the oil up to where it’s needed inside the gearbox. Think of it as the foundation of your gearbox lubrication system. Without it, you’d have no place to store the oil, and everything would quickly grind itself to pieces. It’s bolted to the very bottom of the gearbox, so it’s pretty exposed to road debris. It’s a structural part too, contributing to the overall strength of the gearbox assembly. Well, the gearbox oil is absolutely vital for smooth shifting and keeping all those gears running happily. If the sump gets damaged—a rock strike is common, or sometimes corrosion—you'll start leaking oil. You’ll notice if you have a leak, usually as drips under your car. Even a small leak can quickly lead to big problems—damage to the gearbox is expensive to fix. It acts like a shield, protecting the gears inside. If the oil level gets too low because of a leaky sump, you're looking at serious wear and tear. You can find replacements pretty easily; Fixparts Online has a good selection, but lots of places do. Just make sure you get the right one for your vehicle. Buy risk-free: Oil Sump (MPN 09B321359) is covered by a 12-month warranty!
