When trying to identify the problems that can cause the breakdown of a car’s oil pump, it is essential that we know the types of faults that can be may be developing and what are the reasons that have caused it.
The first indication that will help us identify a possible fault in the pump or in the engine oil apparatus is the indicative of engine light that cars have on the instrument panel.
This light will turn on on our dashboard when there is a problem pressure or flow indicator and it will turn red. If the fault is serious, the engine fault light will also illuminate.
How to know if the oil pump has pressure faults ?
This fault can be caused by air leaking or entering the gear circuit, excess oil in the crankcase, clearances produced by wear in the engine components. It can also be a valve failure.
If we want to know if the problem is a pressure problem, we must do the following:
How to check if there are particles in the gear circuit that affect the pump?
It is very possible that the gear circuit becomes clogged and this leads to a failure in the oil pump. This could happen due to the presence of foreign particles that prevent the oil from flowing correctly and reaching each of the parts of the engine.
This fault is usually caused by the wear of other elements and could happen for these reasons:
