To quote Rob, one of the mods on here = "you must have accidentaly missed this when you did a search in our wiki" = https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Co ... overhaul_2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There is nothing particularly worth mentioning other than, get the new pump from Brickwerks ( HERE ) to ensure quality, re-fill with 50% G12 antifreeze and take care bleeding the air out (instructions again in our "wiki")

p.s. = measure up the size of any of the VW hose clips that need to come off and go buy some Jubilee clips in the same size, those VW springy clips are a sod to get off and even harder to get back on without the special tool

Have a look at these, it may be some help later on.

That's why VW made it easy to drop the engine
