craggsy 91 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 All sounds about right temp wise. But the pump is the pulley that sits right by the chassis leg. You need to undo engine mounts a bit a jack engine up so it clears the body Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 The aux pump is behind the coilpack... a silver cylinder held in place by 2 rubber rings with a plug in the top.Why do you need to change the main water pump? if you're temp is ok and you're not loosing coolant then should be ok... If you cant hear the aux pump just after youturn the engine off then thats the one needs replacing Link to post Share on other sites
golf harris 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 cheers chaps so i need to get that aux pump replaced asap as i defo cant recall that ever being on after engine is switched off since my girlfriend has owned the car! is it damaging the engine if it has not been running? so to replace it its just a case of unclipping the old part and popping in the new one? biliner we will have to hook up one afternoon as im just outside ipswich and i cant find anyone around here with the golf vr6 to chat too!!
