Octavia estate se sport 1.4 tsi 150hp czda engine I have taking the belt cover top off and run the engine up to temp and i can see small amount of steam coming out therefore the pump / seal clearly weeping slightly So i have ordered skf pump with housing (not with outer plastic cover) and a gates belt. in case anybody asks engine 67000 miles odd

sorry i know were the water pump is gearbox end it just i have just replaced the timing belt etc over the weekend and removing the water pump top cover for the locking tool i notice the cover had a lot of condensation which would be why i can smell a water leak and yet not using any water or find any leaks so my view is remove the pump check it out its just looking at replacement water pump none come with belt seems odd to me as if anything that belt is subjected to heat and water contamination after all if timing belts is subjected to years or mileage what makes the w/p belt so good that its not part of the kit

skf and other brands why does it not come with w/p belt if time for cam belt why would not replace the water pump belt
