It’s the most convenient way to carry out car repairs, upgrades, services, and MOTs you’ll find. Who else collects your car and delivers it back to you when the work is complete?
What additional factors could affect oil pump replacement?
With so many components dependent on a healthy flow of clean oil to keep them in tip-top working order, a faulty or broken oil pump could be responsible for damaging other—important and expensive—components.
A faulty oil pump can lead to early damage of bearings, pistons, and other moving parts reliant on its efficient operation.
When you replace your oil pump, you’ll need to replace the oil filter and the oil in the system.
What are the costs of oil pump replacement parts?
An oil pump can cost between £30 or £40 and up to £200, depending on the make and model and the supplier. Your Fixter garage will always advise you on the best options, using only high-quality suppliers to complete the job.
What are the labour times and rates for oil pump replacement?
The time it takes to replace an oil pump can vary for each make and model, but you’ll be looking somewhere close to half a day to a days’ work.
Oil pump replacement costs vary across the country according to each garage and dealership. We examined our records to calculate the average hourly rate.
We found for garages within the London area, the average rate came out at £78 per hour. For the garages throughout the rest of the country, the price was a little lower, as you’d expect, at £72 per hour.
Can I carry out an oil pump replacement myself?
Replacing an oil pump is a challenging, technical project. You should only take it on if you’re an experienced mechanic with all the correct tools and space to carry out the job.
You’re far better off booking in with Fixter, and leaving things to the professionals. We don’t just collect and deliver your car for repairs; we deliver peace of mind from our expert mechanics getting the job done right!
How do you know if you have a bad oil pump?
- Low oil pressure – indicated by a warning light illuminating on your dashboard.
- Increased engine running temperatures.
- Tapping or pinging noises coming from the engine.
Can you drive a car with a bad oil pump?
You should avoid driving with a faulty oil pump at all costs. Without the oil moving around your car’s oil circuit, it could soon overheat, and in extreme cases, seize the engine. It’s not worth risking such expensive damage when a little due care and attention can rectify the issue far more cheaply.
How often does an oil pump need replacing?
A typical oil pump should last between 60k and 70k miles of driving. However, some pumps will last the life of the vehicle.
What causes oil pump failure in a car?
Typically, it’s wear and tear over time that runs your oil pump into the ground. However, low oil levels can accelerate the wear, as can failure to regularly replace the oil in your system—dirt and debris won’t just wear your engine’s components; they’ll wear your oil pump too.
What does an oil pump do in a car?
The oil pump circulates oil under pressure around your car’s moving parts through the oil circuit. It lubricates bearings, pistons, and the camshaft where consistent, fluid movement is essential.
If you think your oil pump might need replacing, or if there’s anything else causing concern under the bonnet, why not let one of our experts take a look and identify the problem for you? We’re always ready and waiting to help.
