Title: Vacuum pump seals
Post by: dazza on January 30, 2021, 06:37:51 pm

You guys would be shocked if you saw the state of my car  :confused: Now its the wifes daily I do the minimum to keep it running and try not to get upset when I see new dinks appear.

It always looked like a trace of oil was leaking from the vacuum pump. But now there is a lot. Tomorrow i will replace all the seals unless the pump could be foobared.

I doubt it.  There's nothing to them.  Just a plastic vane spinning around in a metal housing.
