Be advised - follow at your own risk - correct me if im wrong
hi, ive been asked how to change a water pump on the 1.6 vit engine so ive done a quick guide ive got the engine in the air at the moment so i took a few pics.
hopefully its right but feel free to correct me, its off the top of my head.
start off by removing fan cover and fan off the water pump
slacken off the alternator and power steering pump and remove belts.
drain coolent
remove pulleys off the water pump
remove bottom pulley off the crank. (small bolts not the big one in the middle)
remove covers
remove cam belt, (not sure if you could keep in on the teeth) possibly marking where it goes?
then remove pulley and water pump and replace.
and put back together in reverse order, and refill the coolant system
bearing in mind the timing will need to be done if you removed the belt but if you carefull you shouldnt be a million miles away.
there is some info on timing here http://www.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/index.php ... =13&t=3202
