Just been advised that my wifes 95 1.9TD Passat Estate needs a replacement water pump.

Is this a big job or could even an inexperienced person replace it. Should I get a new one or can I get a reconditioned one. How much would the pump cost. How many hours work would it be to change?

Any ideas much appreciated.

Simple job, although a little fiddly and potentially time consuming if the hex headed bolts securing the pulleys round off........

Pump can't be more than £30-£40, bank on a couple of hours in a workshop.
