water pump nightmare





started to change the water pump on my 16v this mornin wish id never started it now....easy as pie on my old 19 16v but what the f**k is going on with the clio???? you cant get to the top two bolts of the water pump cos some french tw*t in the design office thought it would be fun to stick a great big bracket running round that part of the engine.....so far have taken out alternator,almost got the power steering pump out just to remove this ficking bracket!!!! why does the haynes manual not mention this bracket??
 


Hi mate had EXACTLY the same problem, you have to take off that big casting thats attached to the block !! search for my thread in exterior called something like water pump !! it shows you all the pics etc mate !!

Had a similar problem, even tho mine is a slightly more inferior 1.2i. Me and my m8 ended up moving the bracket and sticking a piece of wood under the engine so that we could jack it up! (Jack the engine up that is)_

Now does anyone wanna tell me what a bad idea that was or an easier way to do it cos my m8 calls himself a mechanic, lol

:devilish:
