bazz Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi, i just removed my oil pump form a J12 2.5 diesel engine. When i took out the drive shaft i noticed that one tooth of the splined end was half the height of the other teeth. It didn't really look broken, it had a nice straght finish. Is this normal ? i can't find it in the manual. thanks Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yep, totally normal If you are thinking of replacing the pump, do NOT get a Britpart one..... I have had *2* faulty ones from them -they don't look bad until you start it and spend weeks trying to work out wtf that horrible grinding/screeching noise is coming from your sump/dizzy area. BTDT if you hadn't guessed.... Bowie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have a brand new one here and one spline is completely missing. Perhaps there is a variation on the shafts. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yep, my original oil pump had an end like yours Les, the Britpart ones had a longer section which was splined, with about half the spline missing as opposed to the whole spline in your case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazz Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Okay thanks, It's just that i'm ordering new parts this evening. So, i leave the drive shaft out. Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazz Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 So, what is the best part supplier in the UK you think (it has to do online ordering and shipping to belgium) I use Graddock or Paddocks but you can't now beforehand whether parts are going to be original or britpart or whatever. greetings BAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
