Yandards 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Hell no. I have never seen a C towing anything *shudders* nor do I want to. It was the size of the thing that was causing the headscratching, then you said they were very rare and it clicked in - I can't even name anyone with a towing arm on there C; its just not a done thing. (And every other C in Trowbridge is one of 2cc's then mine then one of 2cc's... :D ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Scan 4 " look of an oil pump about it." Maybe give half a point there as u're not entirely certain. It is a VR6 oil pump in bits. In fact this one had failed after 50,000 miles running on Mobil 1 0w40 oil. The spring and plunger are the main parts of the pressure relief valve. The plunger had rattled so much inside the tube that a ridge had formed. Eventually the plunger part had jam askew inside causing a whoping 23 bar (350ish psi) at idle when cold. The tappets & valves were wide open all the time presumably but the engine still managed to run, a little lumpy though! . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
