hi all

My classic is getting on abit and I dont know what age the oil pump is and as its sitting around 260bhp - 135000miles I thought id better see about changing it.
Having read many many horror stories about engines failing I bought an api pump. I went to my local subaru dealer for a rough figure for labour to fit it and was quoted £300.00 they said it would take 4 to 5 hours and required the removal of the sump. They also said that if it was working fine then why change it. Peace of mind.....
I know a non dealer type garage would be cheaper but was wondering what price I could expect to pay outside the dealer network.

 

Hi Ginger,

not sure where you are but give Mark a call at Thwaites Developments, great guy, independent Subaru specialist and I am sure that he will be able to sort you out

Should take circa 3 hours and doesn't require the sump to be removed. We usually charge £150 + VAT.

The oil pump has a hard life, as all scapegoats do


Jase.

 

We can fit it for you Ginger, just call.

£300.00 typical 'stealer' price and it just shows how much they actually know, when stating that the sump must come off.

Ginger, You need Craig Samson [ Sammy ] at The Engine Room, 18 Albert Street, Motherwell. 01698 260600.

Tell him I sent you and that you are my long lost cousin that didn't emigrate south in the Highland clearances.

That should do it.

Good Luck David
