Title: Oil Pump Bolts 1.6TD
Post by: dod996 on March 03, 2009, 05:54:24 am

Are there different bolts for the 36mm high volume oil pump? The original bolts are not only too short  but they seem to not be thick enough. My block is tapped for M8x1.25 but the oil pump bolts look like they should be 10mm.

Would something like this work

The 8mm bolts feel extremely sloppy going into the 10mm holes in the pump.
Am I over thinking this?
