hay guys just found out my car is leaking water and it looks like its coming from the water pump.

now i need to know how hard it is to change and what parts do i need Ie: gaskets, seals, ect.

and would any one be able to help a poor sau member out.

have access to a hoist and full workshop.

there would be some beer and maybe a few things a deca

other wise going to have to pull out of deca

Heres a pic of an Rb25DET water pump

pretty basic really, all u gotta do is take the radiator fan off and then its jus a matter of unboltin the pump off and jus use some of that gasket in a tube stuff to seal it. Dunno if the Cam belt will get in the way though, still if u got a hoist it should be easy as, jus remember to drain the radiator first

you need to take the cam belt off..

in order:

1. rad fan

2. radiator

3. fan belts

4. crank pulley

5. cam covers

6. cam belt tensioner (you can get away with just pulling it back)

7. cam belt

8. water pump

reinstall in reverse order.. (i hope i haven't forgotten anything)

cheers,

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
