Did you have your water pump done at the same time as your cambelt on your TDI VRS.

I am asking as most garages i have spoken / recieved quotes say they never do the water pumps on diesels.

Thanks

Yes.... if the water pump bearings fail and the belt becomes loose you could end up with the pistons hitting the valves.

hi there,my water pump went shortly after buying the car at 110k,the mechanic told me it would be wise to change the cam belt aswell...glad he did now,as i believe they should be done together.

Thanks for your help. ill ask for the pump to be replaced aswel.
