I will not know which days that I have off until the week before, as that's when the wife will know her shift pattern. So it could be any of the 5 days of that week.


If you are replacing the water pump, how are you planning on taking off the camshaft sprockets to get the rear cover off? In an ideal world, one of these would be great - Miller Special Tools VM.1085 LOCKING TOOL. I think a bar with a couple of holes drilled in it and a couple of bolts through them may have to do for me.


As I have the kids, I may end up splitting the job over a couple of days, so leaving a voyager in bits on somebody else's driveway is a bit of a no no. Not to mention how to get home :-)

Snap-on Tools mmmmmm!!!


I have one 13mm Snap-on spanner that I found on a drip tray under my old Renault 18 in 1988 :-)

 

I hadn't really looked into whats involved with doing the water pump! Might have to leave that if it's gonna be a faff! Prob doesn't need a change, just thought I would while doing the belts. I changed all the coolant last year so thats cool! Excuse the pun! Lol...

 

To remove the water pump you have to remove the timing cover back plate, which involves removing the camshaft pulleys.... this is why you MUST USE LOCKING PINS to do this job. The pulleys are not keyed onto the cams. You also need to lock the flywheel in positions too.

To hold the pulleys you need a universal locking tool... bit like a massive pair of scissors with pins that go into the round holes in the timing wheels.

I got a set for around £15...

Easy job when you have these. I did my water pump last time I did the belts... 2001 CRD with 148K miles on the clock... TBH the original pump was like new, no signs of wear.... just did it to be on the safe side.

 

Some great info there mate

Would you say that its not worth changing the water pump then? Where did you buy yhe tool from for £15? If you don't mind me asking.

 

I use to be into messing about with cars! But as I get older! My bones are starting to say no! Lol... I manged to get hold of all my Snap-on gear off Ebay for cheap money! For some reason I have a fascination with torque wrenches! Lol. I don't know why! But I have 8 of the bloody things?
