rodney 17 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 As above,Stood looking at the engine and water seems to be escaping from the left side of my engine (pulley ish area). I can not physically see it! I can see underneath where it drips/pours out. Because of the charger I cant tell if there is/are any noises to confirm suspissions! The water pump is an obvious one what else could it be before I have to start major access?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Rich 3 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Mine did the same (water was dripping from the pulleys) and it was the water pump. Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 An easy fix? Or a real Pain in the A??? As the part is only £25 I figure it has to be a 'mare. Any tips? Link to post Share on other sites
gloster 0 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Mine did the same, but it wasn't the water pump! [unfortunately had mine replaced to find this out].
