Get the rear end as high as possible when you do it, it makes filling the coolant/burping a much simpler process :grin:

I changed the Waterpump on my Boxster a few months back, not a difficult job, but a pain in the ass to access as the engine is backwards and you have to faff around with the roof to get access to it and remove half of the interior to do it, should be a doddle for you on your 996.1 :thumb:

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Went out to the boozer tonight with my mate for a couple of scoops. Walking out the pub I notice a puddle under the rear of the car. Get down on all fours with my torch on and notice it's weeping from where the main hose goes onto the bottom of the engine. So I take it easy back home (only a couple of miles). I can hear a funny noise at the rear so drop my window a tad to listen and the regulator breaks :damn:
Get home, park up on the drive, get out to have another gander and the water pump is p***ing coolant out. Looks like my water pump is ****ed!! as well as my regulator.
Oh the joy!!!!!!
:floor: :floor: :duh: :sad: :sad:
On the upside, I was due a coolant change :grin:
Oh bummer Alex :sad:

You can easily do this yourself, my new pump was £140.
I'm off work tomorrow due to the Lecky board doing work on the business park I'm on. Would've had a go but rain cancels play. Might just rock up at my mechanics and wave a monkey under his nose and say "mend my headache".
Yes. I went in this morning on my Vespa, got soaked to the skin and swept up. Managed to get my car into my merchanic for the following work on Monday:
New water pump
New belt
New window regulator
new rear toe arms

Have a good one :congrats: at least it's only the pump. Getting back from the pub on the Vespa could be a challenge. In my youth I was a lamberetta driver(still miss it )
not sure the wife would be interested though.
Hope car returned ASAP
