A few weeks ago I got the top up coolant warning. Assumed like many others that it was the egr cooler. Sadly, it is a leaking water pump. The car had new timing belt in aug 16, about 15000 miles ago so the repair will be out of warranty.
What I'm looking to understand is whether the water pump can be replaced without the full strip of the side of the engine. Looking at the engine, I see a separate black plastic cover which is at the top of the engine where the twin cams and the pump are. Can this alone be taken off and the waterpump be done? I am a competent home mechanic with a good set od tools.
Cheers
