happyeaster 10 Posted August 29, 2014 i cracked my main coolant pipe so left it in to get replaced, all was working fine before the work but now the car isnt pumping oil. i noticed to the side of what i assume is the oil pump is a small box with 3 wires going into it and one has been soldered. so i eliminated a few maybes there is plenty of oil in it. (just below full mark) its not getting oil at all at when you take the oil cap off it looks very dry. anyone any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 0 Posted August 29, 2014 The oil pump is in the sump, you can't see it unless the sump pan is removed, it's a mechanical pump so doesn't have any wires on it. Does your oil pressure light come on? Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happyeaster 10 Posted September 2, 2014 yes my oil pressure light is on. well below the main coolant pipe this is what i then assume is the oil cooler or something along them lines? with a box with 3 wires going into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted September 3, 2014 I think you are referring to the filter housing. Front of engine between the oil cooler and alternator? as said the pump is mechanical and not likely to have been affected by cooling plumbing work. What may have been affected is the pressure sensor, one of the 3 wires on top of your filter housing. Easy to knock when replacing the plastic cooling pipe.
