Water pump
« on: 29 May 2013, 07:14:14 »
Hi Guys my water pump has decided to have a wobbly.
Question is can i change the pump without disturbing the cam belt.
I am packing up to move back to UK and don`t need this at the moment.
The cam belt is due in another 15k anyway but haven`t got the money or time to replace now.
Oh and just to top it off both front tyres worn on extreme inside edge so have to be replaced, can`t wait to get back to the land of easily obtainable parts and a ramp. :y

Thanks for the replies will check for availability of water pump and try to find time to change.
Only need it to drive From Gibraltar to Santander  then it can be garaged until i can do all jobs needed.

On tyre front will just have to buy 2 new ones and again fix everything in UK.
