AIC 55260 Steel Oil Sump with Steel Drain Plug
Upgraded Replacement for VW MK7 / Audi / Skoda / Seat – EA888 Gen 3 Engines
Steel Construction • Reusable Steel Drain Plug • No Gasket Needed
Why It's Better Than the OEM VW Plastic Sump
The original sump on many VW/Audi EA888 Gen 3 engines is made from plastic and uses a disposable plastic drain plug prone to cracking, leaking, or needing replacement after every oil change. The AIC 55260 solves all these issues with a fully steel construction, a reusable steel drain plug, and no gasket requirement.
Key Advantages:
Heavy-Duty Steel Build
Far more impact-resistant than the OEM plastic sump — ideal for tuned or lowered cars and harsh road conditions.
Steel Drain Plug (Reusable)
No more dealing with VW’s fragile plastic plugs. AIC’s included steel plug threads cleanly and lasts through multiple oil changes.
No Gasket Needed
Designed to seal with RTV liquid gasket. That means fewer parts to buy, easier installation, and reduced leak risk.
Sensor-Ready
Has a port for oil level or temperature sensors compatible with factory electronics.
Direct Bolt-On for Gen 3 EA888 Engines
Guaranteed fit for many MQB platform vehicles.
Vehicle Compatibility:
Fits EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TSI / TFSI engines only, including:
