[s-cars] aux. w/p replacement

[Wayne Dohnal]

You're right that the pump is fairly easy to replace.  You'll lose a lot
less coolant if you have something ready to plug the hoses after you take
them off.  Suitable plugs can be a bolt, cork, or anything else round of the
correct size.  I'm not aware of anywhere to bleed the system when you're
done.  Don't pay more than $90 to $100 for the pump.  The internet parts
dealers sell the same Bosch pump that you'd get from the dealer.
