New cambelt kit and water pump now fitted

old water pump was the engines original (40k miles) and its fooked as i expected

zero Impeller left and noisy as hell bearings. Garage also told me if the car had turned one more wheel with the engine running it would have probably cost me a fortune to put right because the cambelt was as loose as a mofo and could be revoved by hand  :shocked:

anyhow, here is the old waterpump



Here is pic of new one to compare



Car now all back togeather and ready to rock and roll  :cool:

Are you going to source the plastic cover that S3's have over the washer & coolant bottles?  :smiley: You could possibly cut to fit


I don't think a semi will give the same results

I drove an S3 today and theyre quick even in standard form.  :wink:

I still prefer a lazier (6 cyl +) engine though, for the noise and bottom end grunt.

Yeah a few of my mates have S3's they are pretty good. total diff ball game in the mk3 tho. it leaves them for dust  :evil:

i miss the 8v for that lazy feeling, it wasnt too bad that old lump for the daily use. saying that this S3 lump pulls in every gear from what ever speed you are going in so you can be lazy with it too. Just have that brutal feeling when the boost comes in haha  :cool:
