Not ideally, especially the water pump. Cambelt needs to come off to change the water pump iirc.

 

[matty J]

so need changing??

The water pump will only get worse and start to leak if it isn't already. PAS pump might last a while longer, depends how much play is a little really as to how urgent it is.

 

[matty J]

its got a tiny leak but i think but couldnt tell if it was pas or water or a mix?

Cambelt only has to come off on the 197, on the 172/182 its all driven by the aux belt. Not sure what they mean by play, are they making a noise, does the water pump leak or whine when engine is cold?

 

[matty J]

No noise or whine just alittle movement when the belt was off

Seen water pumps leak, theyre normally pretty reliable tho and iirc only bout £30 so worth changing. Who's doing the job Matt if you dont mind me asking?

 

[matty J]

Yeh just checked your safe on that one, couldn't remember if the pump would clear the belt if its fitted.
