Auxiliary water pump

[Beetleman65 0]

Hi guys

 

After exhaustive searching through about a million web pages I need an idiot's guide on how to replace the auxiliary water pump, which I think is leaking like a leaky thing :( . What was a sporadic problem now seems to be more regular, spits out about one litre of coolant but doesn't do this regularly :( . I have sent her down to my local friendly VW specialist, when she won't perform :? . Rather than spend even more time without her I would like to replace the auxiliary water pump, I don't think it's the expansion tank filler cap but I'm doing that tomorrow .Almost forgot she is an M reg VR6 (1994) with 95000 on the clock) :roll: .

 

Any help would be much appreciated from you guys who seem to know all that there is to know :wink: .

 

Many thanks

Don't forget the expansion tank itself- they can leak too. I've just had both the tank and the aux pump replaced to cure just the same thing :(

you might have to modifiy the plug on the Aux Water pump as i had to, nothing major just a different type of plug.

but as yours is an M plate you should be cool.
