Water Pump

[minter1]

Well. New rad installed, working fine. Wondered where leaking still occuring.....Found drips under pulleys/belts etc, which I guess can only be the water pump. Reading Haynes manual this looks way out of my league to attempt myself! Dont have the cash to pay someone to do it. Car only has to last until end of November, so does anyone think one or more of the 'sealers' out there may help? I know they usually for rads, but 'could' they work on pump? Damn shame so expensive to pay someone, as eBay stores have the pump for circa 15 quid!

When I fill up with water, there is a steady stream of drips, which then slows, stops, then starts again.

Worth trying? Or just top up before and after work

A brand new pump for a Carina E (genine) is £40 ish, not a bad job to do, your car may not last 3 months if you let the water continue to drip. It will come out faster under pressure so always check it before every journey. IMHO a sealer does not work well on water pumps. Kingo

Thanks man. Figured that they would not work so well. Not a bad job to do if your engine is new like in the manual lol.
