Isuzu 1.7DTI Oil Pump Drive Bolt - C82N

Hi,

Does anyone have any information on the problem of the oil pump drive retaining bolt working loose on this engine? Have heard of a few engine failures due to this problem. Does anybody know the cause of the problem? Is it due to an assembly process error, i.e. lack of thread lock on the bolt, or not torqued properly? Is there a modified bolt?

Sounds fairly similar to the problem that Land Rover had with the TD5 engine.

Does anyone know what Vauxhalls policy is on replacing engines which have suffered from this?

I have a 3yr old Astra with this engine and am slightly worried by the prospect of this failure occurring.

Also, what is the timing belt change interval on this engine?

Many thanks,

Chris.
