Taken from max-boost website :
use the baffle plate from the 8v part # 90528632. It comes complete with rubber gaskets (proper ones) attached from the factory. Dead easy to fit, no leaks afterwards. The 8v sump bolts (Vaux # 90531211) are M6x13 instead of M6x22 of the 16v sump. These are a bit on the short side. It's best to use M6x20, or at least use the longer 16V bolts with a 2mm spacer to make up the difference.
I used a washer and spring washer on the bolts when I used that baffle plate. Keep up the good work Olly:thumb:
Think i will order one tomorrow. Prob just put a 2mm washer on the 16v bolts !
