Volkswagen Golf Oil Pan serves to store important lubricant that is required and is held in the crankcase under the engine. In the wet sump design employed on virtually all production Volkswagen, the metal tray collects oil that is pumped through the moving parts, after which the pump forces it to flow back up so bearings, pistons, and cam assemblies are covered in a continuous film. Oil Pan is positioned at the bottom of the lubrication system, so Volkswagen seals it in an impermeable cover to avoid leakages that may choke the pump. The design is very basic and effective, although it does mean that the engine has to be raised a little higher in the bay to lift the sump, and it can allow the oil to slosh a little during sharp corners. Some vehicles occasionally alternate to a dry sump, lubricant being stored in an external tank with an additional scavenge pump holding the oil off the crankcase, to address the slosh issue, but all generations of the compact Golf continue with the tried and tested wet design that is less costly, less bulky, and more likely to tolerate daily operating conditions. The shape, capacity, and gasket material have varied across the model years, but the fundamental role of the Oil Pan, and mounting location, have always been the same, making it exactly one of the highly identifiable parts in any modern Volkswagen engine bay.
