With those best to buy water pump, thermostat and housing all at the same time, making your job easier, and no comebacks. Yes you can just buy the front, and if you have a rear housing it is easy enough to change, but often those 6 M6 bolts on the front are well seized, and snap off in the housing as you try to remove them. Where are you buying your water pumps from? And yes those little dipstick ends are very easy to break, along with the dipstick itself. But super cheap to buy as aftermarket.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Thanks for your insights on the topic of these Vw Golf water pumps, I always just put the complete pump assembly on these types of Vw's it is easier and less bother as you mention those 6mm bolts on the front end are always corroded and snap off. All the best for your 2022, Sean. Gary

[@sabeloqcwabaza3213]

Thank you so much I just replaced it myself😊

[@SeanBZA]

Next job is the tappet cover, replace the rock hard gasket, tap the dished out bolt holes flat, and put the aftermarket PCV adaptor in place. The silicone orange one works better than the black plastic one.

Hey I was wondering what is the size of the o ring that is between the water pump housing and the engine block, because I bought only the pump without the housing and it came with only the gasket between the pump and the housing I am also gonna replace the thermostat so the whole assemble is coming of the thermostat came with its ouw o ring they are 2 in fact and a paper gasket 1 of the 2 is a normal o ring and the other is thicker and has a groove on the inside of it so I'm wondering what is the size of the o ring between the housing and block thanks man, sorry for the long explanation, not really good at it 😅

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Best to just measure the groove straight across to get the correct size

Hi, seriously love the videos i could watch them for hours on end, super entertaining because I've loved cars since i was a little boy and they're very helpful since want to become a mechanic, anyways, I have a 1988 VW Fox 1.4 and i want to be sure my car and a VW Golf 1.4 is mechanically the same so i don't buy the wrong parts or do the wrong things, i have a 2 main things to replace and my uncle that flips golfs, caddys, jettas etc for a living said he would help me. I'm mainly focused on the water pump. I'm learning to drive and that's difficult to learn with a car constantly overheating + im planning on keeping this car forever because of sentimental value and want to make sure she is functioning perfectly, where can i buy parts like water pumps, exhausts, brake discs, calipers pads and ofcourse the essentials like coolant, air filters and oil filters?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

The advantage of the Vw brand is that almost every spares outlet sells the parts, from Midas to the lesser known brands, you just have to shop around for the best quality and prices.

[@stevenharpervw]

Thank you great video

[@BantleDiraditsile]

What oil do you recommend for Citi golf 1.4 carburetor between 20w50 and 10w50 ?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

If the car has more than 250000 km then 20w50, if lower 15w 40 will do just fine, 10w50 is a bit of an overkill as price goes, but it can be used safely too.

[@tulongahenoch3422]

My Mk1 has a hissing noise when revving or when accelerating, could it be the water pump or water pump Poole?

[@izaiahwilliamson5043]

Oom please show us how to fix a broken breather pipe that goes into the engine under the water housing...my golfe has oil coming out the breather pipe under the water housing

[@tariqsingh4210]

Howzit quick question. i want to replace all the rubber fuel hoses in the engine bay of a 2003 golf mk1 1.4 carb. someone told me there is two sizes of fuel hoses 6mm and 8mm which one is correct? TIA

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

The correct size is 8mm, not 6mm

[@claymcgear7016]

Hi. I have a golf mk1 1.4i. And it has a constant whinning noise that sounds like its coming from one of the belts, I have replaced the cam belt and still the noise is there when I rev the car. Do you think it might be the water pump thats giving off the whinning noise?? Great content, keep up the good work!

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

It could be the water pump, best to remove the belt and run the car for a short period to see if the noise is still there, if so it could be the cam belt is set too tight or the tensioner bearing is worn. Hope you come right Clay thanks for the support.

[@DanielFaure-xn8ub]

Hi I want to only replace the front half of the water pump plus instruct

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

You do not have to remove the complete unit, just the front pulley and 10mm head bolts in the front of the pump, but be warned they tend to snap off due to corrosion and age, this is why I always replace it as a whole unit.
