B.RAD Posted July 25, 2015 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
Crash test dummy Posted July 26, 2015 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
B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author 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.
Crash test dummy Posted July 26, 2015 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
Terry Everall Posted July 26, 2015 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?
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 26, 2015 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.
B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author 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!
B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 The link above from crash test dummy shows the right one
Terry Everall Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Sorry but mine is different so must be early type with no extra lug

B.RAD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks, that looks like it could be just the job, I'll give them a call first thing in the morning!
