B.RAD Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi All Looks like the oil pump has failed on my XE, its a late engine - has anyone got a spare they could sell & get over to me asap? I have an event on Friday.... eek! Cheers Barny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash test dummy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Plenty on eBay, variety of prices to suit your budget but there's an FAI branded one at a decent cost. Search under Calibra oil pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks, I have seen those but have heard really bad things about the quality of the aftermarket pumps so was trying to avoid it. May have to give one a go and hope it doesn't end in disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash test dummy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Fair point. Not clear if this is a genuine GM pump or not but it possibly is judging by the grime!: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Astra-GSi-Turbo-Oil-Pump-Z20LET/181802108839?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107092241%26meid%3D2ed244c730f64d26895f751d09c98857%26pid%3D100034%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D381281072588 I bought one from Autovaux a couple of years back and that was made by Kolbenschmidt which is an OE supplier so it might be worth giving them a call. I think it was around £85.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I have something from my old Xe on a shelf but not sure if it was early or late engine is there a serial number on the pump that I can check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Fair point. I bought one from Autovaux a couple of years back and that was made by Kolbenschmidt which is an OE supplier so it might be worth giving them a call. I think it was around £85.00 I've had one of theirs too, seemed decent enough, the one i had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks Terry, if its a late one it should have an extra mounting lug for the timing belt tensioner, sort of top centre. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 The link above from crash test dummy shows the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Sorry but mine is different so must be early type with no extra lug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
