FAQs
Does this kit include the transmission fluid?
No, the VAICO V20-0582 kit includes the sump, seal, and drain plug, but transmission fluid must be purchased separately according to your vehicle's specifications.
How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?
You must check the OE part number on your existing transmission oil sump and compare it to the VAICO V20-0582 cross-reference list.
Is the oil filter replaceable separately?
In this specific design, the filter is integrated into the sump unit, meaning the entire assembly is replaced during service.
Can I install this myself without professional help?
While it is a direct replacement, transmission maintenance requires specific tools, such as a torque wrench and proper fluid handling equipment. It is recommended for experienced DIYers or professional technicians.
Which brands is this sump compatible with?
It is compatible with various models from BMW, VW, Land Rover, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Chrysler, Lancia, Dodge, and MAN.
Troubleshooting
Fluid leakage around the sump seal after installation.
Verify that the mating surfaces were cleaned properly and that all mounting bolts were tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque sequence.
Inconsistent or rough shifting remains after installation.
Ensure the transmission fluid was filled to the correct level and that the transmission control unit has been reset if required by the vehicle's diagnostic software.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the VAICO V20-0582 should be performed on a level surface with the vehicle properly supported by jack stands or a lift. Always ensure the transmission is cool before beginning to avoid fluid burns.
- Compatibility Check: Cross-reference your vehicle's VIN or the existing OE part number stamped on your current sump with the VAICO V20-0582 specifications.
- Installation: Drain the old fluid, carefully remove the original sump, and clean the mating surface on the transmission housing to ensure a perfect seal for the new component.
- Care: Use high-quality transmission fluid as specified by your vehicle manufacturer. Regularly inspect the area around the sump seal for any signs of seepage after the first 500 miles of operation to ensure the gasket has seated correctly.
