Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Have the oil pump fitted by a qualified mechanic or engine rebuilder familiar with Fiat 1.6 16V engines.
- Always compare the new pump to the old unit (mounting points, drive style, casing shape and pickup arrangement) before installation.
- Thoroughly clean the sump, pickup screen and oil galleries to remove sludge and debris before fitting the new pump.
- Replace engine oil and oil filter with products that meet or exceed the manufacturer’s specification for your Fiat model.
- Prime the oil pump with clean engine oil during assembly and confirm oil pressure on first start-up according to workshop procedures.
- Do not crank or run the engine if oil pressure does not register within the expected time; stop immediately and investigate the cause.
- Always torque fasteners to the values specified in the workshop manual and follow the official sequence for your specific engine code.
These guidelines are general and do not replace a proper workshop manual. Always follow the official Fiat repair information for your exact engine and chassis.
Engine Parts Installation Warning
Internal engine components such as oil pumps must only be installed by suitably qualified technicians with the correct tools, measuring equipment and technical data. Incorrect clearances, improper priming, contaminated lubrication systems or failure to follow the manufacturer’s procedures can result in serious engine damage shortly after start-up.
Before installation, the complete lubrication circuit must be inspected and cleaned, all related components assessed for wear, and the correct engine oil grade and filter specified by the manufacturer used. The installer is responsible for checking compatibility with the original unit, verifying engine codes and OE references, and ensuring that all fasteners are torqued to specification.
Engine Parts Return Policy Warning
For internal engine parts, returns are strictly limited for quality and safety reasons. Once the packaging has been opened or the component shows signs of handling, fitting, oil contamination or workshop marks, it is generally no longer resalable and may not be accepted back.
Returns will only be considered where the incorrect item was supplied and the part is still unused, clean, and in its original, undamaged packaging with all labels intact. Always check the OE number, engine code and physical design of the old part against the new unit before opening sealed packaging or attempting installation. Please refer to our full refund and returns policy for the detailed conditions that apply in South Africa.
