UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hey all,

my car started overheating the other day, had to tow it tho the garage.

the guy tells me water pump is dead, replacemnt will be 1/4 of my salary

decided to do it by my own, only problem i cant find any guides on how to do it.

i know the basics only cant figure how to get to some bolts and screwes.

can anybody help me find a guide?

its a 1999 polo 1.6l manual

Do a youtube search. I suppose somebody has posted a vid for this particular car. Visual reference can be the key element in this.

I must say, if you understand how an engine works it should be pretty much the same as any other car. A 16v is a bit more work than a 8v tho. To get to the bolts, you need a good jack to lift and drop the engine as needed.
