If the oil pump malfunctions, there is a real risk of engine breakdown, since the lubricating film between the rubbing parts stops appearing. Usually, when the oil pressure in the system drops, a red light on the instrument model is indicated. Stop using the vehicle immediately and replace the oil pump.
Necessary
- - key for 10 (socket head);
- - key for 13;
- - oil pump gasket;
- - gasket oil pan;
- - jack;
- - a container for draining the oil;
- - spacer;
- - wooden beams;
- - rope or chain.
Instructions
Step 1
Place the car on an overpass or inspection pit. Work on replacing the VAZ oil pump can also be carried out in a garage with an even and durable coating, for example, concrete; on a horizontal paved site, indoors or outdoors. It makes it possible, if necessary, to raise any part of the vehicle on a jack and securely fix it on the stand. Before entering the garage, cover the hole with steel or wooden shields that will support the car.
Step 2
Remove the engine oil pan. To do this, remove the mudguard. Drain the oil from the engine crankcase. Remove the nuts that secure the lower front motor mounts to the cross member.
Step 3
Take a jack and place it under the clutch housing. Place a spacer under the jack foot and raise the vehicle engine. Slide the support studs out of the cross member. Hang the engine from a block of wood on the front fenders of the car with a rag underneath to avoid damaging the paint.
Step 4
Use a 10 socket wrench with an extension to tighten the bolts that secure the engine oil pan. Remove the powertrain oil pan and gasket. Use a knife to remove any traces of the gasket that may remain on the surface of the block or the oil pan.
Step 5
Take a 13 socket wrench. Remove the two bolts that secure the oil pump to the engine block. Please note that they have different lengths. Remove the oil pump and gasket.
Step 6
Install a new oil pump to the car engine. Before doing this, replace the gasket.
Step 7
Flush the inside of the oil pan with kerosene. Replace the old pallet gasket with a new one. Install all removed parts in reverse order. Replace the oil pan.
Step 8
Tighten the pallet mounting bolts evenly. Do not apply too much force to avoid deformation of the pallet flange. Fill the engine with oil.
