Mk1 vtr sump fit mk2 vtr?

[ThrushMotorsport]

I'm unsure on this, does the mk1 vtr sump fit the mk2 vtr?

I'm unsure hence why asking, my sumps coming off at somepoint, but it's so I can save myself welding my oil return hole on the mk2 sump (as the mk1 has it already)

The sumps on modt tu engines are interchangeable iirc

I know ive got a mark 1 sump on my jp4 engine lol and ive put that on a j4 before
8v iirc is the same so you should be ok
But im a 16v guy i dont know 100% on them

thats what my thoughts were alex, ive not had an 8v scince 4 years ago roughly, always had 16v, but knew that the vts sumps were identicle, just a spare hole on some for oil temp sender or something alike

well.. guess ill give it a go, unless someones 100% sure

Iron block all the same apart from some have the hole for oil temp sender as said.

Alloy block sumps are different..

some 8v sumps have the oil temperature hole, rallyes for one do and I think xsis
