Sounds to me like the pump is borked, or has been damaged when the box was installed. It's easy to damage the pump drive tabs if it's not aligned correctly IIRC.
Yup, can easily trash a pump if not aligned correctly.

Ok, I'll bite. What are you dropping the motor into and what box are you mating it to?
No matter where you go, there you are.

This is like watching paint dry.

Anyone want to make me a serious offer for the rolling shell?

Tough selling a car without its star attraction! The RS6 is all about that engine.

You could break it for parts yourself, an utter ballache in my experience with buyers. But I was breaking an MR2, maybe it would be more pleasant with RS owners??

Yeah... I've only had messers.

The latest called, started off saying how it looked like a nice car etc etc and spent a long time going through why they couldn't offer the asking price but then asking how much I would take for it... When I eventually grew tired of all of the bullshit and told him to make me an offer, he got annoyed when I turned down his offer of a grand and told me that it was a 'shitta'! I hung up.
