Hi All

I have read somewhere that the water pump on the 2.5 td has a tendency to snap its plastic impellors in this cold weather.

if this should happen, what are the symptoms plus how big a job is it and should i just want to remove it to check it does it have a standard paper type gasket or an o ring type gasket?

Thanks lads and lasses

have to remove viscous if fitted, aux belt, then pump held in with 4 bolts

Fast overheating is what will happen if its lost its impellors.

Auto Addict and I changed that pump Feb 07

O ring

Thanks Jaime. Just going to need to rule everything out before i even want to think its the head gasket.

Took it about 2 miles earlier where it went straight up to 100 then blew most of its water out of the expansion tank.

Once temp creeps over 95C, if left to idle, does it come back down again quickly, settling to 93/94C?

Don't know if any use to you, but got a good working TD pump here if needed. Removed from my facelift TD, are they the same as your model?

Yes, all TD pumps are same (for Vauxhalls - not sure about the Y25DT only fitted to later Opel Omegas)
