iantt Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 ive would have thought it might be easier to just drop the engine out and work on it on a bench, engine doent take long to take out, you leave the gearbox where it is and slide engine off it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the water pump is not cambelt driven but it is tucked behind it. Labour wise it's 2.8 hours book time so whatever your garage would charge for 3 hours labour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
