As above, got a leak from my water pump so going to have a go at changing that this weekend, so I will change the timing belt at the same time.

Feel confident doing the belt as I have a spare engine and I have removed and refitted that now a few times.

Is it best to remove the radiator when tackling the timing belt or can in be left in situ?

Also with the water pump does it require a gasket or is it a 3bond sealant job?

Finally turbo, got a tdo5 which I need to fit instead of the vf10 thats on there, any gaskets needed for that? upipe etc?

Is this just a half day job

Car is a my93

 

You can leave the rad in however you will have more space with it out. The water pump has a gasket which should come with the new pump.

I would replace the up and down pipe gaskets to the turbo, and allow you’re self more than half a day.
