Thread: Oil pump recall.

Cant see an official recall for that
Here is alist
https://www.recalls.gov.au/content/i.../itemId/952880

However it is routine to upgrade the oil pump when replacing the timing belt and tensioner at 160K. The upgrade has a beefed up webbing on the boltholes

This link explains the difference http://www.lrautomotive.com.au/conte...ming_Belt.html

This is on the 2.7 diesel.

Has anyone heard of this?

Hi Pothole,

Yes this was carried out at no cost on my 2007 2.7 D3 last time I was in at a Landrover dealer.

Not a minor job from my understanding. One of the benefits to occasionally using a dealer!

Cheers,

Matt

Did the dealer do this work as a standalone job or in combination with some other work (like the timing belt)?

Im interested as I was about to tackle the timing belt replacement myself and was going to buy an upgraded oil pump

I have just re read the original thread and I got it a bit wrong - sorry!

There was a recall on the fuel pump (not oil pump). I use checked my invoice and it says "fuel pump replaced under warranty under action P021".

The oil pump housing which you were referring to is a known issue post timing belt change and so many people replace the oil pump housing while in there doing the timing belt. The oil pump housings are now slightly different and a bit stronger. There are heaps of threads on this if you google it. if they are doing the upgraded oil pump housing as a recall item I'd be very surprised.

Cheers,

Matt
