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

[Elite Pete]

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

Water pump bolts are behind the cam belt cover though.

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?

I've never even seen my 'stat, but I think so.
