Oil Pumps are a critical part of the engine lubrication system on any truck, lorry, HGV or commercial vehicle. The oil pump draws engine oil from the sump and circulates it under pressure through galleries, bearings, camshaft components, turbocharger feeds and other moving engine parts. Without the correct oil flow and pressure, a heavy-duty diesel engine can suffer rapid wear, bearing damage, turbo failure, timing gear issues and, in severe cases, complete engine failure.
This Oil Pumps category is part of the engines and components section at VRA Truckparts. Stock in this area can include used OEM truck oil pumps and closely related lubrication parts depending on the donor vehicles being dismantled. Current listed items may vary, and the available product example in this category is a genuine used MAN engine oil suction pipe / oil pickup tube, part number 51057035771, also stamped as 51.05703-5771. It is associated with MAN TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX applications and was removed from a donor vehicle, visually checked and listed with the available reference numbers. Because oil pump and pickup components often look similar across engine families, buyers should always compare the part number, physical shape and mounting layout before ordering.
What you will find in the Oil Pumps categoryThe Oil Pumps category is for used OEM lubrication system parts fitted to commercial vehicle engines. In some cases this may be a complete oil pump assembly; in others it may be the oil suction pipe, oil pickup tube, strainer housing or related pipework that works with the pump inside or around the sump. Availability changes as donor trucks arrive, so each listing should be checked carefully for included parts and condition notes.
Oil Pumps and oil pickup components are highly engine-specific. The current product context supports MAN truck applications, particularly MAN TGL, MAN TGM, MAN TGS and MAN TGX engine lubrication parts. These model ranges can use different engines, sump layouts and Euro emissions specifications, so the model name alone is not enough to confirm fitment. A MAN oil suction pipe with reference 51057035771 / 51.05703-5771 should be matched by the number stamped on the part, the shape of the tube, the pickup end, the mounting flange and the route it takes inside the engine or sump area.
Oil Pumps protect the engine by maintaining oil pressure and moving lubricant through the parts that carry the highest loads. In an HGV engine, the crankshaft, con rods, camshaft, timing gears and turbocharger depend on a steady flow of clean oil. The pump, pickup pipe and strainer must also work correctly when the vehicle is idling, climbing under load, operating at motorway speed or working in stop-start distribution use.
A damaged, blocked or incorrect oil pickup pipe can cause the same kind of problem as a failing pump: restricted oil supply. If the suction tube is cracked, loose, incorrectly sealed or partially blocked, the pump may draw air or struggle to maintain oil pressure. On a working truck this can show as low oil pressure warnings, noisy operation, bearing wear, turbo issues or intermittent lubrication faults. Correct matching is therefore important not only for fitment, but also for long-term engine protection and fleet uptime.
Typical reasons to replace Oil Pumps or pickup componentsOil Pumps and their associated pipes are often replaced during engine repair, sump removal, accident repair or investigation of oil pressure faults. Some parts are changed because they have physically failed, while others are replaced as a precaution when an engine has suffered internal damage or contamination.
Choosing the right used OEM Oil Pumps or oil pickup component is mainly about matching the original part accurately. Many parts are hidden inside the sump or engine casing, so the visible listing photos and reference numbers are especially important. If you are replacing a MAN oil suction pipe, for example, compare the stamped number 51.05703-5771 or OEM number 51057035771 with your old part before ordering.
If you are unsure, compare the listing against your original part before purchase and use our how to find the right truck part guide. For model, engine and VIN-based checks, see compatibility and VIN checks. Used engine lubrication parts should not be ordered by category name alone; Oil Pumps, oil pickup pipes and associated components must be matched by reference, shape and vehicle details wherever possible.
Used OEM parts from dismantled trucksVRA Truckparts specialises in used genuine OEM truck parts removed from dismantled commercial vehicles. Oil Pumps and lubrication system components are removed from donor trucks, visually checked, photographed and listed with available part numbers or OEM references where possible. The product information may include stamped numbers, donor vehicle notes and condition details to help workshops make an informed decision.
Used OEM parts can be a practical choice for HGV repairers, engine rebuilders and fleet workshops that need the correct original component rather than an unverified alternative. With engine lubrication parts, the correct design matters: the pickup height, tube angle, flange position and sealing surface all have to correspond with the original engine build. You can read more about our dismantling and quality process and how parts are prepared for resale.
Related categories and engine parts supportOil Pumps sit within the wider engine components area, and oil pressure faults can sometimes involve more than one part. Depending on the repair, buyers may also need gaskets, sump components, sensors, filters, turbo oil feed parts or other engine assemblies. Related items may appear in different engine categories depending on how they are catalogued and what has been removed from donor trucks.
When diagnosing a lubrication issue, do not overlook the basics: oil grade, oil filter condition, sump damage, internal contamination, pressure sensor readings and previous repair history. If the listed Oil Pumps item is a pipe or pickup rather than a complete pump, check whether that is the component your repair requires. Each listing should be read carefully so you know exactly what is supplied.
