BX oil pump question

Post by kevlights »

when I start up the( BX GTi 1989 Petrol Auto)
there is a sound is coming from the front of the car ,
sounds like a clicky clacky rapidly repeating sound
the car raises up alright and I drove it home 100 klms,
it seems to go alright, except for that noise ,which seems to repeat its self every few minutes
any ideas where to start looking?
sold the BX to buy ZX disaster! sold to get Fiat Croma nice car but gutless,sold to get Peugeot 505;sold that 505 to purchase another BX ,at least I know about them! 1989 BX 19GTi AutoPetrol
just a little bit insane and slightly Euro potty

For a start your title is misleading

Sounds like the accumulator sphere is flat and needs replacing. Simple enough job before exploring anything else.

thanks for that Kiwi !
I bow low to your knowledge,although i have had a BX before,that was a TRS MKI carb model,and was in excellent order;except for problems with the Weber carb and auto choke;
This car a 1989 GTI injected petrol auto ,is yet to be sorted out and is a different kettle of fish;
I will have to look up how to change the accumulator sphere, and first of all, where to get one from?
Any parts suppliers out there in NZ? thanks again, Regards Kev
