water pump removal/replacement

CustomColours · 01-18-2014, 05:38 AM

Hi everyone.
Just a short post to say that yoday I replaced the water pump in a mates car.
Anyine with a failed water pump shouldn't frett at all apart from yhe 400 quid water pump as its an absolute sinch to replace. I went in with bad thoughts of hours of work and a crampy working space.
In actual fact I started at 8:30 and its done and finished and fully working. I would recomend to anyone with even the smallest of skill to give it a go if the time come. Or if your local im more than happy to help.

Thats it. Sorry if this thread has let anyone down. But for guys worried about this job. Seriosly dony. Anyone that quotes more than 2-3 hours to do this job I would maybe worry about thier ability.

Hioe this puts some worried minds at ease.

That's good to know its a DIY job CustomColours as my car has just gone over 70k and I read up it could fail around this time.
