Cheers in advance. on mine 1999 tdi you don't have to touch any of the cam belt to change the water pump just the air-con pump and alternator and power steering pump Quote
JamboSlice Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 one of the water pump bolts is behind the pulley, just cant get access to it without removing said pulley Quote
a18nkd Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 hi i used a open ended spanner to get to the said bolt was a bit fiddly but got it and watch out for the coolant sounds stupid but mine seemed to trickle out then a big gush covered my face and didn't taste very nice either mine is a 1998 galaxy hope it helps Quote
