siber_pir8 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi guys first poster. What is the black component called at the front of the engine to the right of the thermostat housing? Because I have an oil leak from it and its not from the face of the block, its where the black plastic is joined together by some sort of rivets. Just wondering if i need a new one or will it repair. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siber_pir8 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 sorry forgot to mention it was diesel. it is bolted on the side of the head at the end and it has a push rod inside which goes up to the camshaft. I will get a pic up later tonight though. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog99 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Sounds like the Vacuum pump. It is used for the brake servo and other vacuum actuators, and it is driven by a pushrod operated directly by a special lobe on the camshaft. Haynes says that if faulty the pump needs to be replaced.
