how hard to do and whats involved.

 

Piece of cake to do.

Quick How To.

1) Remove three bolts holding the IMRC cover on. I think they are either 6 or 7mm. The IMRC cover is the black plastic thing on the fron of the engine.

On the right hand is the water pump and belt.

2) Remove the belt by pushing down on the tensioner.
3) Unclip the three hoses and remove fromthe water pump. Can be easier to do this from underneath.
4) The pump itself is held onto the head with three bolts (8mm I think) (The position of these three I will identify when I get home)
5) Remove the pump.
6) Undo the remaining 5 bolts and split the water pump from the housing.
7) Ensure that the brass cup is held into the housing securely.
8) Clean gasket facings.

Refitting is the opposite.

I can do them in less than an hour nowadays.

Make sure you buy a metal impellar pump fella.
