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.

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.
