1.8t qts oil pump swap

[Chriscooke]

I think my oil pump on the qts needs to be changed as I've had the dreaded 3 beeps again, the strainer was removed and cleaned about 4 years ago but I stupidly didn't get the pump changed at the same time...

Does anyone know of a how to guide with pics that weren't hosted on Photobucket for obvious reasons?

Easiest way is to unbolt the snub bracket remove the passenger engine mount raise the engine up and swing the sump out round the pump were the passenger engine mount would be i found this the easiest way of doing it.

I have a topran pump for sale if interested ?

photobucket pics still work, you just need to "open in new window" or click on them if they're hyperlinked to photobucket.

Cheers guys, I need to figure out if it's worth fixing or just cutting my losses, I'd like an estate car so may get a cheap Passat or similar instead.
