Xe oil pump , can it be done in car

[Riggy]

As title really , as part of my never ending probleams this week , I'm getting really low oil pressure when engine gets warm , to the point where my dial hits the red section and brings the light on thought it could of been gauge , but if I take oil cap off while engine is running there is only tiny bits of oil spraying the cams

so can you do the oil pump in car or does engine need to be dropped out ,

[comptoncj]

Replace the main bearings as well buddy as they back up the oil pressure could be them at fault as much as the pump.

pretty sure its doable in car Riggy, but to be fair, dropping the engine & box will only add a few hours to the job.

Yeah was thinking of doin that craig but leeh has my crane and he's on hol for 2 week lol

yeah oil pump is doable in the car fella, might just have to lower if off the mount to get if off square.

[Riggy]

Lol cheers john , next prob is getting one lol , now go to the electrical section for more probs hahaha

Autovaux or Steveboyslim will supply genuine oil pumps, not cheap though

[Riggy]
