Oil Pump Life

[PhilW]

Just wondered if anyone has heard or know of any oil pump failure.

I've been thinkin about the parts i can replace while my block is being stripped and this is one of those parts.

Any thoughts? Hooch, cupra_matt, bill?

Oil pickup pipe for sure, the gauze gets clogged and causes low oil pressure, this is common.

The oil pump itself should be fine.

Pickup pipe part number is 06A 115 251

Cool, cheers for that matt. Not just worth cleaning it out if its just the gauze etc..?

 

[cupra_matt]

Just replace it mate, i think its less the 10 quid, its a very fine gauze and not easy to clean.

Guys. My GF's dad just got low oil pressure displayed . its only an 03. U recon it could be this pipe? Its a 1.8 20vt.

 

[PhilW]

You checked the oil level?

 

[Skorchio]

Yes its full - well its was half full. now we have filled it up. Audi are quoting him 1200. If its this pipe.. Il be in his good books!!!

1200 - 10er

seen a few 1.8 20v t mk4 golfs with oil pump failure! was a problem known to vw and audi dealers but not really that common in the seat world. They aren't as exspensive as u'd think either think i've got 4 or 5 brand new genuine ones at the unit possibly
