New Water Pump is In

[Mark Eissler <tequila@interlog.com>]

With the new muffler installed on Friday, I took the time yesterday to 
replace the water pump that I should have replaced... (repeat after me):

When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.
When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.
When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.
When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.
When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.
When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.
When I replace the timing belt, I will replace the water pump.

And so on...

One more thing to note here. When working on your Audi, try not to have 
anyone around to talk to or otherwise divert your attention from the job 
at hand. I seldom write down which bolt goes where and which part came 
out when. So during the w/p exchange, my Dad unexpectedly visits and 
wants to lend a hand. I work alone. I need the peace and quiet and 
concentration. I need to remember things like the lower front timing 
cover must go on before the top, before the belts, before the front 
grille.

I need to remember things like always replacing the timing cover spacers 
before replacing the timing covers, the belts, the front grille...

I must have taken everything apart and put it back together again at 
least 3 times within the last 15 minutes of the operation. 

On a lighter note: I am getting pretty darn fast at this now. ;-}
