Before you start, open the front bonnet of your Ford Fiesta. Begin by unclipping and removing the top engine cover, then remove the timing belt cover as well.

Next, loosen the tensioner, and you will have access to the water pump. At this point, unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the water pump to the engine block.

Once this step is complete, you can remove the water pump, and you will have finished the disassembly. To install the new pump and close everything up, repeat this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
