0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I haven`t done this job with the engine in the car, only on the stand, but i think it`s doable, probably you will need to remove the motor mount and support the engine on a stand or suspend it from above using an engine support bar.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I haven`t done this job with the engine in the car, only on the stand, but i think it`s doable, probably you will need to remove the motor mount and support the engine on a stand or suspend it from above using an engine support bar. To get to the pump gears you only need to remove the pump cover and not the entire pump housing, so you don`t have to cut any gasket.

POST 3Original post
