Lift the bonnet and secure it. Use a screwdriver to remove the locking pins of the ventilation pipe, then take off the soundproofing panel from the engine. Start to unscrew the water pump mounting bolts using a socket wrench.

Once the part is detached from its seat, disconnect the power connectors and remove it. Finally, refit the water pump in the engine bay after cleaning it of any dirt and deposits; you can then reinstall the ventilation pipe along with the soundproofing panel.

Test the car after reassembly.
