Anyone got a guide to replace the after run pump?

[fran-s3]

Hi chaps,

Well after so many taps of my after run pump which worked got it working for a week it's finally given up the ghost. Looking to replace it soon as it's fairly important isn't it. But at £100+ not cheap!

Anyone have a guide anywhere or know how big a job it is? Looks kinda arkward and tight for space.

Cheers

PS Yes I've searched the forums before I posted but no joy!

Westle you legend! Thanks buddy - although looks kinda tricky at the end swapping all the mounts and clamps over to the new one. May have to ask my mechanical mate to do this for me!

Spotted this: New VW/Audi/Seat Additional Coolant Water Pump on eBay (end time 07-Jul-11 14:11:36 BST) but am thinking for £25 extra I may as well get a brand spanking new one rather than one could fail in 8months.

Nice one!! let us know how you get on, further investigations reveal focus st use the same pump to, and vw jettas for the heater, so as long as you keep the audi name out we are quids in!!

It's just a Bosch pump that is used on all sorts of cars, shows how much of a mark up Audi put on parts.

Just fitted one of those ebay jobbies and it runs like a water pumping clock. Way quieter than my old one although thats prop due to it being on its way out. Its a piece of wee to change also, less than 10 min and job done.
