hi just bought a bmw 318 tds 1996 the fan belt is off and the water pump is jiggley (at least i think its the water pump its behind big plastic wheelie fan type thing) (please excuse the technical jargon) How do I remove these and what do I need is this a complete water pump needed or just a bearing and how mechanical does the repairer need to be, I'm fairly good but do I need to leave it with a real mechanic. thanks.

- yea cheers John its defenitely the water pump, I think the viscous fan can be removed by loosening the large nut behind it, but where do I go from there, and is it poss to get a schematic diagram of how the belt goes on again as I bought it without a belt.

Clarification Request

Hi Led

More info required, are you sure the play is in the water pump, and not the viscous fan coupling ?

Let me know !

John.
