hey guys i got a k reg 1.0l fox polo.
the water pump is away and need to fix it but i dont know how hard it will be.
does anyone have any idea?? cant really find anything online but a hear u have to remove the engine mounts due to lack of space
could anyone who has done this help me out with some more details please.
thanks.

Just had a look in the Haynes, and it's driven off the cam belt. (Had to check - it's been years since I've played with a mk3!) It reads as though that's the only troublesome bit, so as long as you set the engine to TDC before removing the belt, it should be fine! Unless your belt's recent, I'd tend to replace that (and tensioner) while it's off.
