Water pump
Is it a big job to fit a new water pump on a 75 CDTi?
How easy would it be to DIY? |

i'm not a diy man, so i'm not best placed to advise i would imagine, but in the absence of other replies, I can tell you the bill was quite large when I had my garage do it, so I can presume it is a fiddly and long job that involved lots of bits off!

If you are handy with the spanners then it is a relatively straightforward job. What makes it a long job is the limited access, and as mentioned, a few bits have to come off in the process. Book time is around 3.5 hours according to the very nice AA man who recovered my car when the water pump bearings collapsed. [IMG][/IMG] If you are doing it for the first time you may want to allow a bit longer, and worth changing the thermostat and O ring for the pipe going into it whilst you are in there. .

Just shy of 300,000 miles, so I had my money's worth out of it.
The replacement Circoli pump from ECP lasted only 59k miles though, which is why I have done the job twice. . Last edited by Mike Noc; 16th December 2015 at 08:44.. |

great, mines done 167 or thereabouts so fingers crossed. I've had a bellyful of engine front end jobs of late ( bottom pulley, then alternator ( saved with new brushes ) and last weekend, the steering pump.

Might be tempting fate here, but my crank pulley is still original - seems it was potluck whether you got a good one or not.
