Subject:      2.1 wbx with AC Water pump woes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Man, what a bummer to replace a water pump on a wbx with air
conditioning! I've admitted defeat for the moment for lack of tools and
reasonable access. Any tips will be appreciated. The sticking points at the
moment are the steel pipe from the water pump to the thermostat and the
steel pipe to the pax side of the engine. I cannot get a wrench on driver
side pip at the water pump and I can't get the pipe out from under the
driveshaft pulley set.


While I'll give it a go tomorrow (had to stop for a Preakness Stakes party),
I may just bail and take it to an able mechanic. Can anyone ballpark the
price for R&R a waterpump, reinstall oil cooler, refill oil.


Cheers, pals.
