JT 0 Posted April 9, 2005 ok i have a leak looks like the water pump!! if you look from the the front on the right hand side where all the belts are it's the very bottom casing where the water seems to be leaking from, is this the water pump cant think it would be anything else. are there issues with changing this or is it a straight swap, its on a kr 1.8 16v, if anyone can help!!! added some pics it's dripping from behind that pulley and only when the car is running !!!

JBOB 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Does sound like the water pump. I havent taken one out of a C but i think you have to take out the PS pump first which as some hidden bolts, Once thats out then its just 3-4 bolts for the water pump. Easy LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flusted 0 Posted April 10, 2005 You have to remove alternator and bracket to get access to waterpump,be careful not to shear the bolts off in the block aswell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted April 10, 2005 i am right it's the water pump then cos it does look like i can get to it from underneath, where the belts are for pas, alternater and the pump i guess !!! it just drips once the car has been running it would'nt be anything else !!! sorry for the lack of knowledge just need to get my facts right for gsf tom...
