Evening people,
I have taken the plunge and have all the bits to put my car back together (starter motor, cam belt, aux belt) with the forward thought of replacing the water pump, belts pulleys and the oil pump.
I have ordered the oil control unit as I assumed it was the oil pump and it would be complete. It looks, however, that I couldn't be further from the truth. What I seem to have is just the alloy casting and the internal components are all order separately, which is quite annoying. I have searched here to see if there have been any oil pump failures, and I don't appear to be able to find anything, can anyone correct me on this?
I really want to get on and get the work done so I can prep the car for summer again but would really like to know if this is a weak point on the engine.
Many thanks,
Al
