replacing water pump 5K SQ

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Make sure that the radiator, the block/head passages, or the hoses(no joke
I've seen it) are not plugged up.

If they are not, most likely is the pump, assuming the fan is working. Is it?

What do you use for coolant (antifreeze)?

Common antifreeze is one of the culprits of bad pumps.

Cheers,

Carlos.
