I have searched the forum and cannot find a solution to my issue, so am posting up for help.
I’m re-assembling my 1.6 Gti engine and came to fit the oil pump, which is in essence a very straightforward job.
However, rear bolt (flywheel end) is a location bolt with a chamfer on it, the location hole in the oil pump Is also chamfered.
However the replacement oil pump’s rear location bolt hole is not chamfered, so the bolt will not fit through the oil pump.
Is this an issue that other people have found before?
I understand that I could ream out the bolt home in the pump, but am reticent to do so in case I cause any issues and then invalidate the pump warranty.
Do I simply need to get an OEM pump?
Is there such a thing now?
