water pump!!!

Post by genadyku »

hey all,

my car started overheating the other day, had to tow it tho the garage.

the guy tells me water pump is dead, replacemnt will be 1/4 of my salary :shock:

decided to do it by my own, only problem i cant find any guides on how to do it.

i know the basics only cant figure how to get to some bolts and screwes.

can anybody help me find a guide?

Do a youtube search. I suppose somebody has posted a vid for this particular car. Visual reference can be the key element in this.

I must say, if you understand how an engine works it should be pretty much the same as any other car. A 16v is a bit more work than a 8v tho. To get to the bolts, you need a good jack to lift and drop the engine as needed.
