Fitting Windage tray / Removing Oil Pump

  • if fitting windage tray you will need to remove oil pump (2 x 13mm bolts - the 2 smaller 10mm ones are for the pump housing)
  • Withdraw pump and empty oil, clean pickup mesh
  • remove plastic windage piece if fitted
  • turn pump - will feel notchy with no oil, fill up and place in pan of fresh oil
  • submerge pickup and turn shaft, oil will rise and notchyness should go
  • Any doubt then remove pump cover and check for axial play with feeler gauges as per Haynes / Bentley manual or replace unit
  • If replacing pump, fit pickup line and fill with new oil as above to prime unit
  • lightly oil new sump gasket / edge of tray
  • Locate windage tray and fit pump back into place locating shaft and making sure it's correctly seated before bolting back up

Replacing Sump Pan

  • Take parts sticker off windage tray / sump and check they are free from swarf
  • Oil gasket and offer up new pan, gearbox end first and manauvering around PAS pipe work etc, Shrick item is slightly trickier to locate
  • When in place try and get a bolt in using a screwdriver to move gasket into place
  • Get a few bolts started arounds the sump and get them all in and treaded before tightening
  • go round each bolt and do up as tight as posible with one hand using a screw driver (i.e. no torque)
  • Either use a torque wrench set at 20Nm or go round a second time by hand tightening up
  • Check new sump plug is tight / replace copper washer if needed

Finishing off

  • Complete oil change by removing filter
  • Prime new filter, replace and fill engine
  • Check level with car back on ground
  • Shrick sump holds about 1/2 litre more than standard
  • Turn engine by hand once or twice if pump has been removed
  • Start engine and turn off immediatly to prevent air locks
  • restart and check for leaks watching carefully as it reaches running temp
  • switch off and later check oil level and top up
