Hi

I am about to do the same work. Oil sump off, check-replace oil pump, filter, seals.

Oil light came on taking the wife to hospital, checked oil level whilst she was busy, full. Ran engine and light went off with a few revs. ok only 4 miles, so drove home after the appointment. Engine temp got high and automatic gearbox seems to want to change down at normal road speed. Had no choice but to gingerly drive home. Suspect oil pump failure or full blockage. Hope I have not done further damage, not welcome, having recently got no job.

Well least i got the time. S40 2L petrol auto 2003.

Oil pump failure, is this something that could be a bearing failure on the timing belt drive ?
