Rb20: How To On Replacing Water Pump?

[Hydroxinol]

Hi guys,

Coolant has begun leaking from the small hole underneath the Water Pump in my R32 GTS-T. From what I have read the leak is due to seals that have gone inside the Water Pump.

Can anyone direct me to a 'How To' guide or write up on how to replace the water pump in a R32 or R33? I have searched but can only find brief remarks from guys that have done it. From what I understand it involves removing the CAS and Timing belt to get to it so I want to make sure I do this properly.

Thanks,

Steve.

There's a few of these in the DIY section.

Once you get it down this far, the waterpump job is pretty obvious.

Excellent! Thanks Jiffo. So basically I need to follow these steps in order to get access to the bolts for the water pump? And im guessing the water pump swap is just a simple: unbolt old pump, use gasket sealant on new pump + bolt in?

Yes, but read the DIY's carefully, especially with respect to bleeding the air from your cooling system on re-start.
