I have owned a 2003 HSE7 for two years, I have put 40,000 miles on it and today discovered that it falls with in the VIN for bad oil pumps. It has 151k on the clock and has never given any problems. Is it possible that the oil pump was replaced on a re-call?

What should I do to check this out, should I replace the oil pump?

Thanks

 

I wouldn't worry about it, at that mileage. You may want to install an oil pressure gauge, but that would probably be a good idea on anything. I still haven't done it yet.

 

That is kinda what i thought, I did not realize the 03 was considered such a bad car, but knock on wood mines been OK!

 

Most fail early in life, between 20-50k miles. Yours is on the safe side.

 

check out Glowshift for one version of oil gauge adapter.

 

Thanks guys
