So she died, in my driveway at least. Warming her up for college, and just coolant everywhere! I have the shop manuals for her, but its going to be a real PITA. Just curious if anyone did one on a SVX. I have to remove the WHOLE front end to replace the waterpump. I also have to replace the timing belt(better if i have to take it off). Just curious I'm driving the brat till hopefully I get it fixed by the end of the summer.

Thanks in advance!

I havent done one IN the car yet. My engine is currently out of the car.

So, to answer your question - No, it wasnt a pita for me

It's not bad to do in the car if you pull the radiator out, then you have plenty of room. Just like working on a phase 1 2.5.

Well the timing belt is what makes this waterpump go. I'm more mad on how difficult it will be to just replace a simple thing. I swear my Delorean is easier to work on some days than this thing.

I got some guys on the SVX forums that gave me all the oem part numbers that I need to replace since I have it all taken apart.

Thanks again!

It is possible to place w/it still in the car.

 

like 94loyale said remove the radiator first.

You will need to remove the crank pulley and get to the covers. You might as well get a timing belt kit while you are at it. Don't be too freaked out about getting the timing right on the first shot. The EG33 is non-interferential.

 

Good luck. If you need documentation or how to set the timing shot me a PM
