Wazz the timing belt off, 3 allen keys, jobs a guddun:cool: Fairly easy really:) IIRC the water pump acts as the timing belt tensioner too...I'd put a new timing belt on at the same time:)

Oh, you might need a pry bar to persuade the pump out;):D

what BOB.T said

however the later 1.4's had a tensioner wheel instead of using the water pump to adjust the tension. The change over was around 1991
