Long story short I knew had possible oil pump problems on my 02 Mille last week so chucked it in the garage and forgot about it for a few days totally pissed off !!
Anyway took the clutch off today and stripped the oil pump apart, Didn`t look to bad and tolerences ok so shoved the pump back together then i noticed the teeth on the plastic gears had ground down and rounded off ..............**** !!
This is how it`s supposed to look ?
The gear on the back of the clutch housing has rounde off as well .
Has anyone on here seen this **** happen before ?
Looks like my pump has jammed up to do this damage but i couldn`t see anything nasty lying around in there when I stripped it and was spinning no probrem when i stuck it back together ?
Looks like i`ll have to get a new pump and gears but shitting myself that the whole engine could be screwed :exclamation .
Had full service done at dealers about 3000 miles ago so oils etc were all fairly recent
HELP :dunno
