How do you replace the water pump of the Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Pump

In order to replace the water pump on the Volkswagen Golf, you need to open the hood so that you can locate the components inside the engine compartment: on the left side of the block, you will find the pump. The pump can be removed from its seat by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place and then it will also be necessary to disconnect the pipes and remove the belt from its pulley: in this way you can completely remove the old pump, inserting the new one. The new pump can now be properly installed to ensure that everything is working.
