cobramad Member 824 Member For: 19y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 25/04/11 12:39 AM Share Posted 25/04/11 12:39 AM Gets hot due to lack of oil, bearing goes south, clearances now huge so it soon rattles itself to death.. either way its a very bad situation. Try GTI-R oil pump, have heard they're higher flow but do check it out for yourself. Good luck mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
