Never done a pump on a 16v, only my 8v but should be the same!
Didnt take me that long if i remember, 2 hours?! Was so long ago now.  :smiley:

depends on whether you have power steering and how well rusted the bolts are!!

Thats a point, i never had power steering when i did my pump. Do you need to take the P/St pump off to get water pump out?

dont take long to get them off...as long as the bolts aren't rusted up!!  :grin:
just undo them and rest them on something so you don't have to disconnect them completely..  :rolleyes:
