Renault 5 GT Turbo / getting no oil through engine
« on: 11:07, Mon 08 August 2011 »
Hello, i think i know the answer but id better ask anyway. Ive taken my sump off to investigate some low oil pressure at idle and found a load of shite clinging to the oil pump strainer.
Ive taken the strainer off away from the pump to clean it and also shimmed the spring whilst it was off, i did try to take the the pump away from the block but it didnt budge :roll: , anyway ive bolted it all back and turned her over for quite a few times and ive not had any oil come through the turbo oil feed pipe.
Ive now looked through the haynes manual and noticed it says top the oil pump up with oil before boltiing on, so im guessing ive got an air lock or something hense why ive no oil appearing, anyone had this experience :?:
