Big water leak!!!!!

[double-6s 0]

Hi.

 

Had a rather large 'water leak' yesterday. The first I noticed was overheating and when I pulled over and stopped the engine I could hear a fairly strong leak!

I can see it too. Down to the right of the engine block kind of below the engine multi-plug but a bit further towards the fron of the car. Can't get a good look, but it was absolutely p*ssing water from there.

There is also a nasty rattly noise (bottom end??).

Any ideas what's happened? Water pump or worse?

Many thanks

That'll be your auxillary water pump expired then mate :-)

Is that where it is Kev? Down the right hand side?

 

What about the rattling noise mate?

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Yep, behind the coilpack.

 

Rattling noise is motor bearings inside the pump mate, they're fubar!

 

New pump is about £65 from the dub ya IIRC

Can our german car supplying specialists help? The great GSF......

GSF come up with 'water pump - additional' - £65. Is that the fella? They got one on the shelf! :)

Sounds like the kiddie :-)

 

I would phone them and ask them to physically go and see if it's on the shelf....GSF are feckers for that. They told me a part was on the shelf so I drove 20 miles to get it during a lunch break, only to get there and find it wasn't on the shelf at all, and wasn't in stock either. Useless morons.

 

I just don't bother with em anymore. Dealer all the way from now on.

Good excuse to vent some anger on someone who deserves it though :)
