Used Volkswagen Fox Sump

The Volkswagen Fox was sold in the UK in a single generation running from 2005 to 2011, so a 2006 and a 2009 car share the same generation — however, fitment of the sump depends primarily on the engine code, not the year alone. If both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), the sump is very likely to be compatible, but confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The engine code matters above everything else for a sump — two Fox models from the same year could have different engines, and the sump is machined to match a specific engine block. Your engine code is printed on your V5 logbook or can be found via a VIN check, and it's the single most useful detail you can give a breaker when requesting a quote.

No — petrol and diesel engines have entirely different blocks, so their sumps are not interchangeable even if the cars are the same year. Always specify your fuel type alongside the engine code when getting a quote from a breaker, as a petrol sump sent in error will not fit a diesel Fox.

Trim level makes no difference to sump fitment — the Urban, Fox Plus, and any other trim variant use the same engine-driven mechanical components. What you may notice is that a used sump from a different trim car could carry minor cosmetic marks or a different surface finish, but this has no effect on whether it fits or functions correctly.

Both years fall within the same Fox generation (2005–2011), so there is no generation boundary between them, and fitment comes down to whether the engine codes match. Confirm the engine code on both cars with your breaker, as ancillary mounting points can vary within a production run and only the breaker can verify compatibility against your specific registration.

Gearbox type can affect whether the sump has provisions for oil pick-up routing or transmission-related drillings, so it is worth specifying whether your Fox is manual or automatic when requesting a quote. The engine code remains the primary identifier, but always tell the breaker your gearbox type so they can confirm the correct sump is supplied.
