How to Change the Water Pump on a Volkswagen Vehicle

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Pump

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to change the water pump on a Volkswagen vehicle with a 1.9 TDI engine, fitted to models such as the Passat, Golf, and Corrado; Audi, Seat Cordoba, and Ibiza: the one being changed by the YouTuber is leaking due to a broken gasket.

To change the water pump, it is necessary to remove the timing belt, as it is always located at the bottom of the timing system.

The replacement part can be found with code 186321225791 on eBay, priced at £68.52 plus £14.25 for delivery. Changing the belt is neither an easy nor a quick job, so it is advisable to seriously consider having the work done by a specialised workshop.
