Title: water pump ?
Post by: ade666 on June 14, 2008, 22:26:07
hi all. cruising along the a50 this evening kept hearing a squealing fanbelt so pulled over and popped the bonnet and hey presto its mine cause theres water persisting all over the show. turned the engine off, the temp guage hadn't moved, then checked the header tank there was still water in it so hopefully haven't done the head gasket. but the water pump is shot its leeking from behind the pulley wheel and the nice rac man pointed out it was broken. anyway never replaced one so what do i need and how hard is it
