About Oil Pumps

Oil is crucial for lubricating the moving components of the engine so they last longer and perform better while also functioning to act as a heat absorber, helping to keep the engine cool. The Citroen oil pump pumps the oil out of the tank and around the engine of the car.

The oil pump is mounted to the engine block and secured with bolts and sealed with a gasket to ensure the oil doesn't leak out. The oil pump is often positioned low to enable it to reach the oil in the oil sump. A short hose or pipe with a mesh strainer enables the pump to collect oil from the bottom of the sump. The oil will pass through an oil filter to clean it from any impurities before it is pumped back through the engine.

An oil pump is usually driven by a shaft operating with distributor gears inside the engine block.

As with many engine parts, the oil pump will wear out over time which will prevent the pump from functioning properly as it struggles to pump the oil around the engine. This means that adequate oil pressure cannot be achieved and the oil pump will need replacing. A clattering or ticking noise in the engine could signify a problem with the oil pump. To ensure perfect compatibility with your car, buy a good quality Citroen oil pump, which has been manufactured specifically for the make and model of your vehicle.

Citroen trivia

• The founder of the company, André Citroën, is renowned as something of a genius when it comes to marketing. He specifically targeted adverts for the 1922 Citroën Type C at women owners, and soon after the car became very popular, earning the nickname 'Petit Citron' after the distinctive lemon yellow paint job.
• Citroën cars have been put through their paces and all in the name of advertising. Citroën vehicles have trekked huge distances for promotional reasons, including expeditions across the Sahara, throughout Africa, all over Asia, and even across Alaska.
• Thanks to Citroën, the French driver Sebastien Loeb is the single most successful driver in the entire history of the World Rallying Championship. Nine consecutive driver's titles were won by Loeb in the time between 2004 and 2012, driving cars such as the Xsara, the C4, and the DS3.
• Unfortunately, the founder of Citroën went bankrupt in 1934, even though the cars they produced were selling well and incredibly popular. The company exists today because tyre company Michelin bought the majority of shares in the company.
• French president Charles de Gaulle's life was saved by Citroën not once, but twice. In 1961 a Citroën DS managed to stay intact despite there being a bomb made of plastic explosive, dynamite, oil, and nails. It even managed to drive away from the scene. In 1962, de Gaulle was attacked again, this time with machine guns, but the Citroën again managed to get away from the would-be assassins.
