How To Change Your Water Pump
 

Changing the water pump is a basic task, but unfortunately getting to the stage where your are in a position to carry out the operation is not quite so basic
It is advisable to drain the coolant via the radiator and block nipples.....
Stage 1...Remove the auxillary/poly or serpentine belt whichever phrase you use..http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=30475
Stage 2.. Undo your timing belt following the instructions here...http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=30549 up to the end of stage 6....
The belt should now be hanging loose in the bay

The water pump can be seen below the outlet/exhaust cam sprocket.....
Stage 4.... Using a 10mm 1/4" ratchet undo the seven retaining bolts..these are usually very tight as they will have been secured with loctite..ensure the socket is on squarely to avoid rounding off......
Stage 5 When the bolts are out remove the waterpump and using a putty knife or the like ensure that all the gasket is removed from the block...
