leaking water pump

Dude sounds like you're not having much luck.

I know this tip is a little late……. but for future jobs where you can just tell its going to be a mission to un-do bolts …..

Either dab on some engine oil and leave to soak…….

or spray some plugas on…… it's good stuff.

If you use a impact driver you can shock bolts loose that are seized. :starwars:

Like I said not much use now but a good tip for next time. ops:

If you've not seen Plusgas before this is the stuff………….

Thanks for the offer mate but I have already fitted one from Euro car parts

can i ask why you changed it for a VAG one? Are the aftermarket ones no good?

got the vag one for cheap as thought id fit it as a matter of course, the gsf one i put on owas louder than the old pump that was on there (which looked around 20 years old)
