Re: Anyone have any experience with a bad oil pump?

["Jason" <jason87vw@nac.net>]

I have only one thing to say...REPLACE IT!, I just blew my 1.8 16v because
the oil pump was going, and I decided to try and make it to my
mechanics....DUH!...Kids don't try this at home....Now I have to put the 2.0
in....guess I kinda wanted to anyway....OK maybe I had more then one thing
to say....
