Hi how easy or difficult is it to remove and replace the water pump on a 2.5 diesel.

Thanks. Phil

Thanks for the reply I'm going to have a go on the weekend once my car park has finished being a lake and there's no chance of drowning when under the van. Phil

Hi, warm welcome to Bongo Fury.

Don't want to teach you to suck eggs but make sure you are up to speed on the bleeding method.

You Tube vids to help.

Hi Bob
Yes me and the wife are up to speed on bleeding the bongo we've done it a few times,especially when we've changed the coolant hoses.

Hmmm. If you changed the pump with the Bongo under water, you might be able to avoid getting air in the system.

I'm full of helpful suggestions like that

Why has no one thought of that before?

Why has no one thought of that before?

Because of the other problems it brings? Like how would you keep the cooling system free from tadpoles and bits of shopping trolley?
