- Engine / equipment
- Ford Ranger 2.2 and 3.2 TDCi (Puma)
- Period mentioned
- 2011–2022
- Symptoms
- Low oil-pressure warning, engine noise and, if the pump fails, seizure. After an oil change, the pump may not prime if the engine was left without oil for too long.
- Possible cause described
- The variable-displacement (vane) oil pump fails earlier than expected on the 2.2 and 3.2. Many owners replace it with a gear-type pump. If the engine is left without oil for more than about 10 minutes, the pump can lose its prime.
- Check for the garage
- Watch the oil pressure; when changing oil, refill straight away and check that pressure builds on start-up. Consider a gear-type pump at a specialist.
