TD5 oil pump bolt!

For those that don't know there was a run of early TD5 engines that did'nt get locktite put onto a bolt that holds the drive sprocket onto the oil pump with the resulting bolt coming undone,sprocket dropping off and if you don't like STOP prompto when that oil can lights up on yeh dash -enjunes fooked

Any way of spotting it's not been done? I think it was 1999 to 2001 models and they usely go around the 80/100k mile mark.

I recon I'm going to have a look anyway as I'm off to the South of Spain soon in our td5 (110k miles)and have a enough on my plate with the wife,3 screeming kids,watching the GPS & never mind watching for the oil light to come on

Any ideas

Where abouts in Spain are you coming to?

Hi Dave

Thanks a lot for your kind offer MP me your N° you never know

We spent a week in a Hotel at Mijas last year, like you say kin big place, thinking about Nerja this year but Hotels seem top Dollar there

If you have any recomandations? Would be nice to be on the coast (or near) but want to avoid the concrete cheese burger Jungle if possible!

Hey no worries about the " thread hyjack" no body knows about the "oil pump bolt"
