Lacking in ZDDP
Driving home today i noticed a strange smell. I figured it was just the stinky old chevy in front of me. A mile later ( the chevy turned off) the smell was still there. I stop and no sooner do i come to rest then i see smile/steam coming from the hood. One key off and hood pop laer revealed that the engire front of the motor (both belts included) was covored in steaming G12. I call up my dad and get it flat towed home. a quick inspection revealed that the water pump seal was totally shot. I break out the manuel and look up how to change it. The man says to take the AC and Alternator off (without disconnecting the lines to the AC of course). After i begin to do that i talk to compu_85 and he mentions that Matt|R10TDI had done this job last fall. I call up Matt and he says that I dont need to take the AC and Alternator off, i need to take the TB and intermediate pully off.
Does this work both ways? Has anyone else ever tried this?
