Evening a7 friends, may i ask if there is a correct way of fitting these pumps. I took mine off due to leaking small amount of oil from the bottom at attachment to the engine, with the view of fitting a paper gasket. However, 1st attempt refitting with gasket it jammed, so removed refitted then wouldn't draw fuel, filter blocked . Today refitted didn't work so removed to find actuating arm broken off, pin had sheared. my question, how do you know that the cam lobe is in correct position before fitting and bolting up.
I tested above on starting handle and appeared to turn over smoothly, although maybe that first jamming had already fractured the pin. Im new to A7 so, everything i remove and put back is the first time of doing so on these cars.
The engine is a 3 bearing 36 car.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards RPM Rob
