I am not a mechanic and unfortunately I could not find a mechanic available to change the water pump until way late in the week; because I need the car on Monday, I need to change the pump myself this weekend. Bought a brand new pump and I have the necessary tools (I think) , I am also handy enough yet reluctant to start such project without some sort advice whether or not this is a DIY job, and mostly things I should be aware when undertaking such job. Advice/pointers greatly appreciated. V
