In search of an oil pump


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for and oil pump for a 86 GL-10 4WD Turbo wagaon. Its got the 1.8L EA82. I cannot get it through any Subaru dealer or parts store and I was hoping someone out there had one or knows somewhere i can get one. The part number is 15010AA001 or 15010AA004.

I recently bought one from Renton Subaru (dealer) here in washington. But that was for an EA81. I would think EA82's would be easier. Maybe give them a call. Good luck.

 

GD recently said the EA82 part was discontinued.

 

To the OP: Ebay or Carparts might be a place to get a used one. Might also try the WTB section of the forum. 

 

Good luck!

Last one we had (about a year ago) went for $250 to a loyal customer. It was the last one in the country and we were told by Subaru they will not be manufacturing them as they "lost" their supplier of them and Japan said gone forever. Nationwide dealer search turned up nothing. 

 

AFAIK the EA81 pump is made by Hitachi and Subaru of Japan still has them produced periodically. I believe the US is out of stock at this moment but they might re-order. 

 

The EA81 was made for a lot longer and in larger quantities than the EA82 and was the engine of choice for a lot of other markets besides the US.

There's lots of used ones out there but the problem is they are, by and large, NFG at this point. They are aluminium and they pump unfiltered oil so they get chewed up after 100k or so typically.

NFG??

I can check AUS stock if you want, we had the EA82 as long as you did and they may still be available here. Price could be insane though.

I would buy one from ya if they are still around over there...i got one of the last available ones myself, its going to be real hard to keep these motors going if the pumps are really gone forever.

FWIW, I spoke to my Subaru mechanic and he said he usually just replaces the gears rather than the entire pump. He can still get these, and after I advised him on the lack of new stock he has ordered some gear stock. I don't have a price yet.

There has to be a way to rebuild them or maybe a aftermarket electric pump or something the biggest issue I see is the timing belt pully on the oil pump maybe there's a way to delete the pump pully and use 2 passenger side timing belts so you only need to carry one spare belt hay might even pick up a pony or 2 if there's no load from the oil pump
