Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

About 10 mins from home on the motorway and noticed what at first I thought was white smoke coming from the rear of the car shortly followed by a massive spike in engine temp.
Got off as quickly as I could and more or less immediately there was a puddle of coolant forming beneath the engine area. From what I could see (didn't want to get too close to scolding hot coolant) appeared to be coming from around the water pump area or large coolant hose connecting to it.
Currently awaiting recovery. Wish me luck I suppose! :? :sad:
AA man thinks it's the pump as well.
Can I ask if anybody knows the correct part number and manufacturer? I believe it is Pierburg but please correct me if I am wrong!
Good luck! Actually it looks quite a "doable" job :
