Title: Wanted: V6 Oil Pump
Post by: tunnie on 15 March 2012, 11:30:18
I understand they are all the same, but one from a later car would be preferred.

Must be from a known good working engine that had no issues of low pressure at hot idle.

Thanks  :y

**note if fitting is provided, that would be a bonus  ::)

Are you saying that you would like it fitted?

Would be nice, but know that's not realistic for breakers.

Just really looking for a good known, working pump  :)

Aint it s*ds law. My mate who runs his own garage & knows the V6 well has just chucked one out  as he was having a clearout :(

He says it's a pig of a job to do  - very labour intensive .............

Sorry  ::)

Can it wait until October?  Then we can get it on the ramps here :y

Can wait, sure. Would ramps make a big difference to this job? Having no clue about how to replace it, no idea if access from underneath would be better  :-\

If it does make things vastly easier, there is a place near me where I can rent a garage lift.

This thread is rapidly getting side tracked from a standard wanted thread!  ;D - I'll make a new topic in Gen Help  :)  :y
