autograsser 0 Posted October 29, 2008 been poking around on evil bay and found a uprated spring for the oil pump, the oil pressure is ok on my car (or so the gauge says) is it worth changing as its gonna be juste getting used for oval type racing so 2gear max revs all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richsmells 2 Posted October 29, 2008 It's a pressure relief spring. The "upgrade" ebay spring is just a normal spring from an XU10 available from Pug for a couple of quid. Being stiffer, it holds more pressure when you're giving it some before it releases the excess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted October 29, 2008 Don't pay someone on ebay £10 for one, it's the standard spring from a later engine - £1.61 from Peugeot, part number 1157 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan 99 Posted October 30, 2008 Any of the 2.0 cars from 1993 onwards - 306, 405, 406, 605... Just give them the part number (1157 11) - that way they can't get it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
