Water pump?

[Shane]

Hey Daston, what was the out come of this, did the gasket sort this prob out??

 

Come home tonight and mine is exactly the same, water in all the same places as your photos.

I've also got exactly the same problem since a few days ago.

 

I'm assuming it must be the water pump and getting it changed at Phoenix. If anyone has any other ideas of what to do let me know!

Kevin, just seen your post. Sorry you too are having probs. I was surprised to read that the Cam belt has to come off as well to change the pump. Makes it quite a big job I reckon. have found a local parts stockist who can get me a pump for £50 delivered on Tuesday. Just need to decide, do I do it myself or do I pay someone else?

For me it is a no brainer - pay someone else! My local garage has already refused to do the job because it is too difficult for them! I gather undoing the crank pulley (or whatever it is called) is a real pig.

 

However I believe others have done it themselves, perhaps they can offer you some hope!

nah there was a core plug by the water return pipe (the silver one with 2 bolts) that was leaking. So we pulled it out and machined a new one ran good as gold after that.
