[Vwdiesel] Water pump replacement

[Erik Lane]

The hub size is the diameter of that part of the pump that sticks
through the pulley, in mm. I don't remember if the smaller one is 30mm
and the larger one is 40? Maybe 40 and 50? But you can just measure it
with everything still on the car.

Commissioning steam boilers? What's your job? I've spent some time as
a stationary engineer and playing with steam boilers... :) I have a
feeling you know it much more in depth than I do though.
