Boxer oil pump - OEM supplier

[DaveS]

HI all,

Im going to be refreshing the chains/oil pump in my 2.2 2015 Boxer. Stealership price is coming out north of £320 for the pump alone (thanks once again Marc!), Autodoc have Pierburg unit for £65.

Im not sure if they are the OEM supplier for the oil pumps for these engines, but i know they are an OEM manufacturer for many other components, leading me to believe they are generally of good quality?

Do you think the Pierburg oil pump will be a safe bet, or am I best just swallowing the price and getting the lot from my local dealer? I dont mind paying a bit more for the chains/guides, but i cant make peace with getting gouged over £250 on the pump

What do you think?

Unfortunately I can't advise on who makes these as they don't supply that info - but as long as you ensure the after-market part has a corresponding cross-reference to the OEM part number, I can't see an issue. Pierburg are OEM manufacturers for a lot of the electro valves used by many constructors, including PSA vehicles.

Just as an FYI if the topic ever comes up again, i went with the Pierburg pump in the end. Looks to be the OEM supplier, albeit with the markings ground off.
