timing belt, water pump and turbo change - any tips
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.
