YES, CHANGING AN OIL PUMP IS AN INVOLVED JOB

SORTA, WHAT KINDA OF A SHOP DID YOU TAKE IT TO?

HOW EXPENSIVE DID THEY SAY IT WOULD BE?

WAS ANYTHING ELSE MENTIONED ABOUT WHERE THE SHAVINGS CAME FROM?

DID YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OIL PRESSURE?

ARE YOUR STILL DRIVING IT?

DEPENDENT ON YOUR ANSWERS I MIGHT POSSIBLE SUGGEST A LESSER EXPENSIVE MECHANIC/ OR INFO ON FINDING ONE IN YOUR AREA

YOUR TURN
