tcspeer Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 My 2.2 has 273,000 miles on it and is due T-belt chg. My question is how long does the oil pump usually last I have not heard anyone here talk about replacing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 In the past I replaced the pump on two different cars, both EA82's (1.8L) at approx. 150-175k miles. The reason I did it was beacuase the valves were noisy. The increased oil pressure fixed the problem on the first car but not the second. I think the part cost me about $100 and it was not difficult once the timing belts are out of your way. Maybe it's cheap insurance or a waste of $100. Depends on your outlook on life and the condition of the car. That's my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 IIRC there is a procedure to disassemble and check the condition of the oil pump. Check the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Main thing with the oil pumps is to make sure the seal between it and the block is good, and the backing plate is connected well. If they are good, and clearances are good.....then pump should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
