Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK V, MK 5, Polo V, Polo 5, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Pump
Operation: How do you replace the water pump of the Volkswagen Polo?

In order to replace the water pump of the Volkswagen Polo, you need to access the left side of the engine block, where the timing belt is located. The pulley of the water pump needs to be removed by loosening the central nut. This will allow access to the water pump, which should be freed from its housing by disconnecting the pipes and removing the fixing screws. At this point, the new pump can be installed by securing it to its housing and repositioning the appropriate pulley to ensure that everything functions correctly.
