How strange. I've been using mine for about 3 years, no problems at all and it sucks the entire oil capacity out in a few minutes. Kev

The model made 3 years ago maybe not the same as the one you can buy today? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I've found the cheap electric pumps to be utter tosh, no good for sucking 10L of oil up a 6mm (or so) diameter tube.

I bought a manual vacuum extractor from Ebay and it's been brilliant. Makes changing the oil and filter a simple and clean task.

This is the one I bought: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223385433390

Only downside, is with just 9L capacity, you have to empty a bit out to extract the full amount in a 4.4 TDV8!

This looks like a slightly more robust unit with proper hose connectors.

The extraction tube internal diameter is around 5/6mm so still can't see how the whole sump can be emptied by anything quickly 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I was looking at that one Jay also , look around as its available for £12. overfinch modified

The stated flow rate will empty the sump in 20-30 mins according to the spec sheet and it will run for 30mins max so could be a bit marginal. This one may be better?

I'll buy it for the next oil change as the one i bought is in the bin. After 3 x 95deg intensive stain wash cycles using loads of detergent I finaly got the oil stains out of my jeans. I've got an MOT on Thurs and I wonder if they will tell me I have a bad oil leak at the front of the engine..... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

So what actually happened? Was the hose not tight enough on the pump outlet? Kev

It was tight but the design is poor so it just flew off under pressure and the heat of the oil softening the hose. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

cheap crap !  overfinch modified

Sounds like you had a bit of bad luck JayGee. Glad you got the oil out of your jeans. I suppose there could be a number of reasons why your hose popped off. Like you say, perhaps something has materially changed.

I extracted my oil using the cheap little pump today. I change it every 5k miles which is about 4 times a year at the moment and I've been using it for a few years now.

Here's a video from earlier today...



All out within 6 minutes.

Hopefully you'll have better luck with the next one  Kev

The flow on that is way faster than I got. The outlet had a ball with a small hole in it to retain the hose under the compression fitting which was obviously resticting flow for a start and the extraction hose in yours looks thicker - does the L405 have a wider oil extraction tube than on the L322? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I just measured the extraction tube on the L405 and it has an OD of 8mm. What is it on the L322?

I remember that I replaced the hose between the pump and the extraction tube on my pump so it was a nice tight fit on the extraction tube.

I'm not sure about the ball on the outlet. Will have to take a look. Kev

That sounds the same as on the L322. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
