Hey guys, it's been awhile, which means that my car has been running well.
Noticed my radiator coolant has been draining slowing, and under the car, I found a small leak back behind the belts. The radiator and hoses are dry and good. Friend says he thinks its the Water Pump, and I think it probably is.
So, I was going to order the parts tonight and fix it on Monday labor day,
I was thinking of buying this:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin...E46 3 Series, All Except M3 (1999-05), Each
over at Pelican parts, $51 for the pump, but from the drawing, that it doesn't come with the pulley.
1. Do I re-use the old pulley, or do I need to get one, or does this part come with it attached?
2. Anyone know some good DIYs for this job?
3. What else do I need to get? I have a bottle of coolant still, for a jug of distilled water, so I think I can make enough coolant. I also might buy my windshield washer pump and install that. 3rd, I changed the Idler pulley and Tensioner pulley, but never the AC pulley, thinking, maybe i should do that, while I'm there?
thanks guys, I want to make my order and get this stuff this week, I'd hate to have the car in pieces without all my new parts on hand.
