If the pump on your car is indeed a recent replacement it is very likely, b=
ased upon my experience with the currently available BJ8 pumps, that the be=
aring has failed.=20
Having disassembled a few of these repop pumps that have been sent to me as=
 "original cores" I can confirm that these are very poorly made and it is a=
mazing that they operate at all.
There is no facility for lubricating the bearing as it is a sealed unit.If =
you have the original that was removed from your engine I would strongly re=
commend having it rebuilt or rebuilding it yourself as they are of far supe=
rior design and when correctly rebuilt last for decades.
Rebuilding instructions are here and I can supply a kit containing the corr=
ect parts for $68.65 including US tracked shipping although I am out of the=
 country at present and would not be able to get one on its way until after=
 19 Mar.
