Dear All
Appears coolant pump has failed whilst driving on motorway and felt loss of power, stopped the car and it was chucking water out near where the drive belts are!
Is it easy to replace the pump and if so would the crankshaft pulley have to be removed and how can that be done without special tools? Also does the Engine mount have to be removed to gain access to coolant pump and if so is there anyway of removing it without using a hoist to support that side of the engine?
Any tips / ideas would be gratefully appreciated, I only have basic toolset, i.e socket set, Car Axles and small trolley jack!
