tried ford today and they want nearly £150, what other makes are there that are good and how much should i be looking at paying? cheers

 

Tried Burton's? They have helped many people in the past with ZT engines or have tried to

 

asked them, they could order it in

 

why does it have to be an RS1800 pump?

thought all zetec oil pumps were the same.. infact im almost certain of it

so that kinda makes my question irrelavent, dont it

 

as far as im aware when i done my 2.0 in my fiesta the oil pump angle different from the 2.0 giving more clearance?

 

Any 1.8 Zetec Escort is the same Paul.

 

Use a small oil filter from a renault clio i think it is, gives loads more room as the filter is about 1.5 inches long

Bri.

 

so are the mondeo diff? and anyone got any links for anywhere? and how much should i be looking?

 

As Bri says, you can use a Renault 5 or Clio filter on a 2.0 pump, they are tiny.

Mondeo 1.8 are all the same as 2.0 iam 99% sure.

Just go to Ford, try asking for 1.8 Escort in case they tried adding RS tax

 

fords, £150 for a pump? i know nearly every engine part and nut and bolt are from ford but £150 is just a rip of, what good make pattern parts are there to go for?

 

escort zetec oil pump is diffrent to an mondeo one people use the escort onces as there is less room

 

that was what i thought, knew there was a reason why i changed it before, cheers mate

 

lol thats just what I told you!

 

when?

 

 

i took it as you were suggesting mondeo pumps are same

 

No as i was saying the mondeo pumps are all the same 1.8 or 2.0.

Escort 1.8 and Fiesta are the same and are angled down for clearance.

However you can use a 2.0 pump with a Renault oil filter.

 

things like an oil pump i would only buy a genuine one from fords yes you pay extra but its so an imporatnt that for me only the best will do.


thanks

sean

 

think i may go with a genuine one because i dont want crap and if nobody can suggest a good copy then i guess fors are the route

 

150 on a decent oil pump or 1k on a new bottom end - the choice is yours

 

fords it is, get a new pick up aswell

 

let me know how much im needing one

 

ok mate will do, think ive found myself one new from someone but gen fords

 

mate i had this trouble trying to find anew one but to be honest i bought a second hand 1.8 escort one that had done over 100k miles and stripped it to find it was mint condition inside so you'll probably be ok to use secong hand one, just strip it first to make sure
