Rusty Leaking Engine Sump Oil Pan Replacement Fiat 500 / Ford KA 1.2

In This episode, we are tackling the engine sump/oil pan. This Fiat 500 has the dreaded oil leak fault we need to fix it ASAP. This will also work on the Ford Ka 1.2 petrol.
I've looked and there's hardly any information on how to remove the oil sump on a Fiat 500 so I hope you enjoy this video that is desperately needed & if it helped you please like the video & subscribe for more.
This was supposed to be a quick flip now it looks more like a money pit.
The damage from the accident has been done but as usual, there are more problems under the bonnet.
Fingers crossed we can do this...

Work the nuts back and forth 😄

Great Video showing all the unpleasant parts of this job, Well done. I had a go myself and I'd like to add my experience for anyone trying this job. It can be done without removing the manifold, but it's not easy. A few tips are: 1) Put the sealant on the block, not on the new sump, this stops you knocking it off as you try to get the new sump in place. 2) cut out most of the baffle inside the new sump out, again to help getting it in place. 3) Turn the engine over via the crank pully to put the no4 piston nearest the gearbox high up in the engine for the same reason. 4) Grind off a 1/4 inch of the chassis leg holder near the 3 big bolts to help fit the new sump. 5) temporarily remove the front t30 bolt that holds on the oil pickup so it can be moved, so you can get the old sump off. Once all this is done, it fits in OK. What a terrible design for a car :)

great advise, Their definitely not easy to work on due to the room in the engine bay

[@normanstephens5391]

Hi Big Man. Another epic repair. I personally would have put a little less sealer on the inner side of the sump. When you tighten it up, the sealer expends outwards which is ok on the exterior as you can wipe it level but there is a "chance" with the amount that was on the inner lip of the sump, of it dropping down into the oil, being circulated and blocking the oilways/passageways leading to worse problems. See you in the next one. 👍👍

[@RevivingSalvage]

Thanks very much for your advice I really appreciate it I was considering taking it back off as I thought I might have put a little too much 😀... I will definitely be more careful in the future Thanks very much 🤙

Nice one mate

Thanks very much 🤙

[@cotswoldconversions]

I watched this, and realised I missed last Sunday's. My bad. Cracking progress mate. Shame about that snapped bolt. Loved the tense music playing when you were undoing, classic 😅 Always a pleasure to watch this channel, keep up the good work mate - and roll on 3K subs 🙌

[@RevivingSalvage]

I can't believe you missed one, tut,tut lol. I definitely shit myself a few times on them bolts 🔩 I'm glad you enjoyed 😉

[@cotswoldconversions]

@@RevivingSalvage I was free camping out in the sticks over the weekend, completely off the grid 😉 But it was great to get a double helping today!

[@kiwitrains]

Great job 👍👍🇦🇺

[@RevivingSalvage]

Thanks very much 🤙

[@christinamurray2912]

Well done with that! I reckon you did that better than most garages in fact I bet a garage snapped that stud and said nothing! I’ll do mine at some point though I’ll be crapping my pants undoing those bolts! Very useful video especially to myself 👊👍❤️

[@RevivingSalvage]

Your probably spot on ... I hope you can make some use of the video... thanks for watching 👀

[@christinamurray2912]

@@RevivingSalvage 100% as you said there’s nothing really on the net regarding changing a 500s sump!

[@RevivingSalvage]

Only two came up that I could see & the one was ripping off the heat shield & throwing it away & that was a garage so not a very good example...I know mines a bit over the top with the front off I suppose you get the just of it. Lol

[@christinamurray2912]

@@RevivingSalvage yeah saw that one 😂 great garage eh! The other was the red 500 he took bottom arm off .. But like you say it’s still impossible! I reckon this video will help loads of people out!

[@RevivingSalvage]

I couldn't believe my eyes when watching that one lol...I hope so 🙏... its definitely not an easy job but if you take your time with the Manifold bolts you should be fine 👍

[@NathanHiley]

Nice video bud and Jesus not a small job to change the sump . fiats have always suffered with the sumps rusting I remember doing a sump on a Mk2 punto about 10 years ago keep up the good work and not long for 3k subs 💪🏻💪🏻

[@RevivingSalvage]

Thanks Nathan it wasn't the easiest of jobs but hopefully worth it... its taken ages to get to 3k but hopefully start going up... your channel is booming 💥 fair play your Land Rover is Lush you both did a good job on that

[@NathanHiley]

@@RevivingSalvage no worries all the hard work will pay off 💪🏻 any interest in the 2019 500 I finally sold the gold 2019 Volkswagen up last Friday had very little interest must of been the colour as I normally sell ups very easy . and thanks again your Chanel and mine are getting there and tell you one thing it’s not easy to win a car atm prices are crazy

[@realjiver2]

Or you could cut the pipe, fix the sump leak and, then sleve the exahust pipe back together. Sleves are cheap -all you need to know is the outer diameter of the pipe. If you really have to chance those rusty exahust manifold studs, apply some heat (butane) then give the studs a few taps with a hammer and drift to loosen the rust - oh and plenty of WD :) And just for future reference - the amount of sealant that squeezes out will be approx equal to the amount the squeezes in - just hope none of it breaks away and ends up in the sump to be sucked up by the oil pickup.

[@pcjtech]

Great job of what looks like an absolute nightmare of a job. Gonna take a look at the wife's 500 sump tomorrow and have a good cry if it's rusted 🙏🙏

[@RevivingSalvage]

Good luck with the sump buddy 👍 I wouldn't won't to do it again to be honest 😀

[@pcjtech]

@@RevivingSalvage Looked at the sump the other day and yes it's rusted. New one arriving tomorrow and fitting it at the weekend. Saving all my best swear words for the job as will definitely be using some choice ones 😜

[@mrmawson2438]

Hello mate

[@andrewmorgan5933]

I've done many sumps on these but never had to remove the driver's side leg so not sure what that is about? And yes, it is easier to cut and sleeve the exhaust pipe rather than remove the manifold. However, I have done a couple of sumps and removed the manifold completely and it's a lot easier with it out of the way to get pry bars in there to lower the sump.

[@joaquinausiro]

I would possibly remove the entire engine and work with it outside in a much more comfortable way.. but good work and keep it up as always.

[@RevivingSalvage]

Pmsl I was contemplating 🤔 putting the engine in my living room to work on ... I think the wife would say no lol... thanks for the support as always

[@ianwoollard9008]

2m 44s in you said: "This channel doesn't cut Corners" and yet you will sell it on minus one Exhaust Manifold Stud? It will all have to come to bits again.

[@michaelstevens7533]

There is nothing wrong with taking precautions in making sure that the sump don't leak

[@RevivingSalvage]

Thanks fella 👍
