Title: leaking water pump
Post by: gnasha on December 02, 2010, 13:51:33: i have 200tdi and have a problem my water pump is leaking from the bottom of the pump housing
ive tried silicon sealent as a gasket still leaked
got hold of a proper gasket and that still leaked
even tried silicon sealent both sides of the gasket and still leaks
i did notice the sealent wont stick to timeing cover but sticks fine to the pump
any one got any idiea's how to sort it out
thanks Don
