Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

(-: Also to clean old gasket remnants from a surface I ever used an old wood chisel, but care has to be taken if the chisel is really sharp as you can cut into any alloy face you are cleaning.

If ever hoping to remove nuts that show some corroded threads over which they have to unscrew, it can pay to clean the threads with a wire brush and give them a spray with your chosen releasing agent before you attack them with a spanner.

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.

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

POST 2Original post

I sped through it with no sound but if you take the thermostat housing off first it's easier to remove the water pump. Never pull on that gasket .. you can get small side cutters in there to cut the 2 tabs . When cleaning off the gasket surfaces don't use emery cloth .. it's a bit too abrasive .. i use scotch bright medium . If on your own then use a plastic or wooden wedge to hold the brace bar back .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Never having seen the water pump job done I watched the whole vid with interest. I liked the way it started with advice on all the equipment needed including goggles and gloves, neither of which were used performing the task.... (-: Apparently the chap helping cut his finger on the gasket. One other thing I picked up on when watching at normal speed was that the suggestion is not to fit the t/stat housing before the pump as they did on the vid All in all I thought it provided a reasonable insight to the task. I ever worked on my own and and with my cars supported on a mix of axle stands and stout wooden blocks, which adds to the degree of difficulty, but having done that for many decades any chance I got to work with a ramp I had to re-learn the way of working.. Well used to working myself, I have a range of wedges and strange shaped tools.. (-: Also to clean old gasket remnants from a surface I ever used an old wood chisel, but care has to be taken if the chisel is really sharp as you can cut into any alloy face you are cleaning. If ever hoping to remove nuts that show some corroded threads over which they have to unscrew, it can pay to clean the threads with a wire brush and give them a spray with your chosen releasing agent before you attack them with a spanner. I have wire brushes down to tooth brush dimensions.

Although it takes a few mins more, removing the bumper cover and cats makes this job WAY easier.
