116 Oil Pump
So you haven't had the problem classic to the 24v yet, where the oil pump isn't really man enough for
the job with all those hydraulic tappets to feed? I gather most engines were replaced under warranty,
although I don't believe the replacements were altered in any way.....
Not that I want to worry you....

I've heard about this, and as I recall, the cam followers are the first to go. During the exploits my car has
been through, the heads have come off and been examined. I saw the engine in this condition and it
was absolutely gleaming! The cam lobes were measured and there was no wear at all. So I'm 99.9%
sure the engine is not at fault. Almost everything else has been examined - most bits by several
specialists, with nothing found at fault. The latest ploy is to replace the wiring loom - *not* a job I would
like!
Regards
