Certainly be careful. Just keep an eye out

Was the actual pump faulty or was it just the gasket? I got a friend of mine to change the one on my VR6, when it had 73k. The pump (plastic) although fine was working, just the gasket was completely gone, I replaced it with a new metal one from ASV for $95 for reference.

Was only a busted o-ring Branko, but seeing as it was going to come out, i played safe in case there were any other problems.

Yup, as if youd do all that job and just change the o ring.

Glad it worked out Mal, nice write up.

I'd done all the coolant hoses before that, so yeah I basically had to, not that I did it though...

Do you need to left the motor to do this? To anyines knowledge, any way to do so without lifting off mounts?
