Oil Pump Pickup Pipe With Aluminium FKM Seal For Vauxhall Opel Suzuki Saab

The aluminum oil pump pickup pipe sleeve set permanently seals the connection between your oil pump and pickup line, stopping the gradual pressure loss and critical engine damage triggered by deteriorating factory gaskets. On 2.0 CDTI, DDiS, and TTiD diesel engines, the original ring-style seals harden with age, leaving microscopic gaps that bleed oil into the sump. This corrected sleeve bypasses the weak point entirely, creating a rigid, oil-proof barrier that withstands sustained high temperatures and vibration without warping.

Benefits & Practical Tips

• FKM material stands up to aggressive synthetic oils and extreme combustion heat, outlasting standard rubber replacements that swell or tear.
• The direct-fit aluminum sleeve requires no machining or specialized equipment, making it a straightforward swap during scheduled oil changes or timing belt services.
• Clean all mating flanges with brake cleaner before fitting the new rings to guarantee immediate pressure recovery and prevent cross-threading of the drain plug.

Warnings/Reminders

Verify your engine code and chassis specifications before installation, as early 2008–2010 production runs utilize different pump geometries. Inspect the mating surface of the existing pick-up tube for deep scoring or warping, as severely damaged bores may require professional refurbishment. Do not overtighten mounting bolts beyond manufacturer torque limits to avoid cracking the aluminum housing.
