[Vwdiesel] Water pump replacement

[Terry Briggs]

great, I was looking at my donor motor yesterday and just didn't see 
how it could come off without messing with the timing belt. I was going 
to use that pump until I could get a new one but see that autozone has 
them for $40, I just need to get the old one off and see what hub size 
it is. I may just wait and have the timing belt and pump changed at the 
same time. I can do it myself, I just don't have that much free time 
since wen started commisioning 2 new high pressure steam boilers at 
work.
