Advice needed...
« on: 10 August 2013, 09:17 »
Hi all, I'm new to here and need some advice.  I have not long brought this 2001, 1.6 vwgolf mk4, when it gets to tempreture the oil light comes on so having done a bit of reading it looks like the oil pump needs replacing.  Is this a do-able job? Any advice would be great. 
My husband and son have not long replaced the radiator and the thermostat.

Thanks
