Hi guys, water pump on my 2016 1.2tsi rapid is leaking so I'm planning to replace that in the near future. As it is written in the workshop manual, there is a need to use VAG vacuum filling kit to fill up the coolant through the system when assembled back. Does anyone have any experience with draining and replacing the coolant without the vacuum pump? I don't have a garage and will be doing that repair on parking lot without access to electricity and I would also like to avoid buying whole coolant vacuum kit for this one job. On my old car (Octavia mk2) when I did the timing set with water pump I simple filled up the coolant though the expansion tank, squeezed upper and lower radiator hoses to remove as much air bubbles as possible and then ran the car on idle with heat to MAX for 30mins. That worked out great for me, but the car was much older, and the system was less complex. Last think I want in my new car is some air bubbles that would create hotspot on the block and cause extra damage on the go. Thanks a lot for your advice!
