can you write the next haynes manual so much better and easer :) :) :)

Not so important on a V6 as it's not cam belt drive so the QH will be fine and for the price you can change it every cam belt change anyway :y

It'd be about 7 pages long if wrote it ;D ;D

Follow the cambelt DVD, just dont change the belt.
You dont need new bolts but you will need a spot of loctite on the water pump pulley bolts.
Do be careful though as you are likely to give the cambelt a good drowning of coolant

Thanks for that guys,still considering giving some one a £100 to do it,but they need to be mobile and GOOD :-/

Depends where you are based mate, there are quite a few good people on here...worth updating your profile with location :y
-
You can change the water pump on the V6 without removing the cambelt cover, i've done it a couple of times now just don't drop the waterpump bolts ;)
-
The Sintra which has an Omega(ish) engine you can change the waterpump by just removing the aux belt and undoing the 3 water pump bolts (as said dont drop them) and pulling out the pump...its fiddly though...there is a little more in the way of the Omega engine but still pretty straight forward :y

Water pump bolts are behind the cam belt cover though.

Not on the Sintra...wouldnt have thought the Omega was that different?? They are fiddly to get to with the cover on granted but not impossible :y

The hole in the cambelt cover is just big enough to get at the bolts ;)

no need, it's an O ring located in a groove on the pump body, unless the bloke who fitted it used instant gasket too ;)

is it an o ring on the thermo stat as well?
