jamie31888 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi Guys,Ive taken off my sump to have a clean up and replace thrust washers , rear oil seal etc.I noticed the mesh on my oil pump is lock wired on ... is this correct? It looks a bit bodged.Can anyone tell me if i can buy a new mesh or which oil pump is correct ? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfiandy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 This is the oil mesh in my MK3, it doesn't look much like yours.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Jamie,Yours is an early pump. They didn't have any gauze. On those, the gauze was fitted right across the top of the sump bowl so the oil was "pre-strained".The other is the later type and intended for sumps with a simple open bowl - not sure it would have been original fit for a Mk3 though?Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie31888 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 well my sump is just plain and ordinary no mesh etc, the engine is an FD prefix.I was thinking of replacing it, especially if its 42 years old , but the ones i find look very different ????

gfiandy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It from a 1970 MK3 as far as I know its the original engine.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie31888 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 All the ones i can find for a mk3 on rimmers etc look like yours andrew, maybe its just a change in design like a pattern part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensH Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You can use a new pump for a later engine (1500) for improved capacity, anyway: Carefully go through all measures (see workshop manual) - or mr. County might hit you :-/Or examine your existing one - its easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
