Water Pump
Ok guys not only am i newbie to the Cabby world, i also am to the forums, so this is my first post, please be gentle. I have a 1993 Cabriolet collectors edition, that i picked up a few months ago and have done general maintenance to since picking it up such as alternator, fluid changes and so on. nothing that i haven't done before. but this morning i pulled up to work only to find an hour later that there was a puddle of antifreeze below my car and still steadily dripping. i believe it is from the water pump??? Is there any advice you guys can give me, im gonna try to replace it this weekend? I haven't been able to find any tutorials on cabby-info or VWVortex? Thanks in advance!

Re: Water Pump
Are you sure it is the water pump and not the outlet flange? Whe the antifreeze is dripping is it from under neath the pump as in coming out he weep hole and off the pulley?
Or look at the t-stat cover (plastic) and the flange that the upper radiator hose goes in to (plastic) both are prone to breakage is the bolts are overly tightened and it will leak there.
The how I change my water pump is:

Re: Water Pump
The same thing happened to me not too long ago and as it turned out it was the plastic t-stat cover which had a crack on it.
