My water pump has just gone on my 79 895cc MK1 polo. I brought a new one from GSF, does anyone know if it is an easy job to do?

Fitting the waterpump is easy as pie really, getting to it is another matter.

I personally would pay someone to do it, you'll pay about Â£30 labour max.

I paid Â£40 to have mine fitted and the carb cleaned and a cambelt put on.. (Â£40 labour)

I dont mind giving it a go and if it will only cost Â£30 it cant be that hard
