Oil pump replacement ?

(1/2) > >>

bensonsnuts:
My 200 tdi has a flickering oil light . This only comes on when it is warmed up and even then just when it is idling. As soon as you apply any throttle it goes straight out. I've got a pressure gauge to fit when I get chance but I'm assuming this is a warning of low pressure .
 Are these the symptoms for a worn oil pump.......and are they easy to change ?

needbeer:
hi there mate try the oil pressure switch befour you pull it to bits there only a few pound. shaun

Disco Inferno:
think if it is the pump then its an engine out job as you can't drop the sump in the car from memory

i'd be more worried about the rest of the motor if the lights been coming on though

Range Rover Blues:
I don't know what stops the sump coming off whilst in situe, but you probably need the front cover off the bellhousing to get to the back bolts.

What grade of oil are you using an how old is it?

bensonsnuts:
15/40w and regular changes. It does seem to improve for a while with the new oil ?
