Originally posted by sriray View PostThere has been many threads about low oil pressure is to do with the oil pick up seal. Your engine could of been saved.
I think this is probably oil pump / oil cooler issue as oil was coming out of the relief pipe a few days ago. Fixed that over the weekend but I think the damage was already done as when I dropped the oil there was small pieces of swarf in there.

Then you have to pay for fitting, new clutch and dmf, swap over ancillieries, probably need a replacement turbo as well so would be looking at 2k plus, not worth it. Car had done 151k miles (motorway). First real issue I had with it.
