I am replacing the oil pump on my 87 GL with a new high volume unit from Bus Depot. To my surprise a new cover plate did not come with the pump. To my greater surprise I was able to order a new plate and gear from my local VW dealer for only $9.00. Of course the gear will be useless in the new higher volume pump. My questions are: Is it difficult to remove and replace the oil pump with the engine installed? Will the standard cover plate fit correctly over the larger pump? TIA, Mark Smith |
