So...

How exactly do you remove the water and oil pump? Please and thankyou

[itiejim]

Hmmmn,

I'm guessing:

1) Remove the road wheels and disconnect the battery.

2) Remove engine.

3) Everything will then appear simpler!

no really, inside the timing chain cover, the pumps are driven by a cog connecting to the crank/cams etc)

i dont know as i never touched this part, but i think the pumps will extract from the cog by undoing the assembly and just extracting it by hand so it would not interfere with the timing. the rest would be a case of lookign what is holding the assembly to the sump/block etc.

As stated above you will need to do the following:-

Remove engine!
Front pulley,
Front cover, which will mean cam covers and inlets.
The aux shaft is driven via a gear and idler fron the crank so once the gear is removed from the end of the shaft you can access the four bolts and tab washers.
You will also need to drain the oil and remove the sump as the pumps are sandwiched between this and the block.
Once out of the way you can take the whole assembly out as one and dissasemble it on the bench.

Have fun!

Thanks for that, Phil.

My engine is already out, it has been for about a year now due to auxiliary shaft failure. It now needs a new gear and auxiliary shaft- the gear was stuck on the end of the shaft, ended up having to break it to get it off.

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells the auxiliary shafts? I know Austec make them, but they won't sell one to me- they will repair it though, but they're 300 miles away from me. Also, I've heard something about ceramic gaskets being used between the pumps?

What's the reasoning behind this?

I would have thought that TVR Power may be a good place to try.

Xtrac made a batch in 2006 - I had 2 of them but have used them both - but they may have the pattern still

That's a £2000 Vapour blaster, a bit more than the average parts washer!

Though I can clean parts for you if your interested.

Well basically when I called to enquire about a new auxiliary shaft I was told that they make them on site. I asked if I could purchase one, but the answer was no frown

They did say they would overhaul the three pumps and fit a new auxiliary shaft for me, at a cost of about £700- bearing in mind my engine is already out.
