Yes, I did mine separately. The pump was getting noisy & the pulley could be 'wobbled' if I 'wiggled' it! If that makes sense? That is one of the good things about these engines in my mind.

All quiet now with the replacement pump.

The cambelt was done later (as per earlier post on this thread). The previous cambelt was a Bosch one, fitted in UK by Swallows Volvo Specialist in Gosport Hants. It had done it's '4 years', though only around 25k miles but still looked as new.

Oh it did have timing marks on it too. Replacement was a Volvo one
