You can do the water pump without removing the cambelt cover at a push but its easier to remove it and while your there you might as well do the belt kit ;)

With 'only' 10k left, I'd be inclined to change the belt at the same time...

cam cover gaskets MUST be genuine. DONT use pattern ones!

Don't get your camcover gaskets from anywhere other than Vauxhall, they won't last 5 minutes

Try contacting andyc on this site (he is a parts manager at a dealer, and normally happy to post most stuff out trade).

Get the gaskets from dealer, then cambelt kit and pump from buypartsby.


You cannot do a GM V6 Cambelt without the V6 locking/timing kit.

Another one here in the 'get it all done at once' camp.

I cant see the water pump being an easy job without removing the cambelt first?

And did the parts price you were quoted include new tensioners?
