Break it to him gently dude:lolup:
Waterpump should always be changed when you have the cam belt done as the cambelt needs to come off to replace it.
Will cost £100's just to change a £26ish part now
I thought that the water pump ran off the same belt as alternator not the cam belt.

Dunno mate, I only polish cars I dont fix them lol

Certainly not on the Williams thats for sure, I thought 1*2's were the same.
If I could get Dialogy's to work I could tell you

Typical Renault lol
When I had the Williams engine and gearbox fitted into my Hybrid I had everything changed while the engine was out, even clutch and headgasket just to be sure

You may be ok in your 1.4 mate as you have probably got room to change the parts without having to lift the engine out
With the Williams its an engine out job really to replace the cambelt and water pump.....hence why you should replace both if one needs doing. This way you dont have 2 lots of massive labour fee's
Non RS : (
youd be surprised theres nowt room in the bay tbh.

Due to it only happening at slow speeds and reving it's a belt driven thing I would guess that it's a pully out of line which could be caused by the wearing of the bearing in the aux part. GET IT CHECKED as it was only the other day my mechanics had to do a cambelt breakage replacement with all the trimmings (springs valves), caused by the aux belt coming off and pinging into the cambelt which in turn took it off.

So it doesnt sound like its coming from the cambelt/auxbelt area at all? Theres nothing really at the rear in the middle that I could think of.

It does sound belt area, one thing the water pump is ran for the aux belt and is auto tensioned plus i reckon Fred would have had the sence to change it.
The aux belt isnt toothed is it? Could be slipping if its not

I've just had my cambelt fitted and dont think water pump has been replace :S i'm worried lol. They did replace the fan belt though for some reason

By fan belt you mean aux belt? Thats normal, the aux belt should be changed every 36k. I wouldnt worry about the water pump, if you havnt been loosing water or dont have a noise its fine. It can always be changed in another 36k.
