Hello!
My name is David and I'm more into Renaults really(I hope you won't mind that), but I do love Volvo 480 series.
As said in the thread title I'm interested to know if any of the above or any else 440/460/480 series B18/B20 engines have chain driven oil pump?
The reason I'm asking that are the "aux shaft" driven oil pump bearings.
Oil pump "shaft":
Bearing:
They're are not available from Renault anymore and if they are, they have a astronomic prices. I also don't like the whole concept of having oil pump driven like that, the chain is much nicer way, in my honest opinion.
Few extra information I got so far:
Renault engines with aux shaft driven oil pump:
-all F7P(1.8 16V engine used in Clio 16V and R19 16V)
-early F3P/F3R(Renault versions of B18U and B20F, that can be found in R19, Clio, Laguna, Megane, Scenic)
-F7R 700/710(2.0 16V engine used in Clio Williams and Megane 16V)
Renault engines with chain driven oil pump:
-F7R 714(later Meganes)
-later F3P(got this info from Clio(91-98) Haynes manual, but it's not specific which paticular engine(F3P ???), this is also the reason I'm asking about this here(maybe later Volvo B18/B20 engines have chain driven oil pump?), on Renault forums no one knows for sure)
I hope you'll help a fellow Renault/Volvo enthusiast.
