Could it be a faulty pressure relief valve in the new pump? It’s an aftermarket unit (Febi brand), and I suspect the bypass spring or piston might be stuck open or too weak.
Reviews of FEBI oil pump
After replacing the oil pump, the engine shows no oil pressure at all – even when cold. The warning light stays on from the moment I start the engine.
