Yes, thats the one you want but you should change the waterpump for a metal impellered one at the same time. Its cheaper from VW spares as postage is free: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=212

You will also need a hydraulic tensioner damper just in case the one fitted is leaking hydraulic fluid from the piston seal, 9 times out of 10 this is the case.

Edit,

You'll also need some coolant for when you change the water pump. All of your coolant is lost when you replace this item.

Here you go: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1269

You can get away with just buying the basic kit you mentioned but you're inviting trouble further down the line by trying to do it on the cheap.

Thanks a lot for that mate, much appreciated. I have the coolant already yeah, but cheers for the thought.

Thats where i looked for the water pump previously, although when you go to the go to shop part, it says that the part was not found...ive tried emailing them, will see if get a response tomorrow!

Which pump is it that I would require. Take it its the Mk4 Golf 1.8, i've got BAM engine code but theres a few on there

 

[andycupra]

i understand that follet cant get metal impellars anymore, or are not trading?

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

All of the above should be able to sell you a waterpump with a brass impeller.

All VAG 1.8T waterpumps are the same from 150bhp AEB engine up to 225bhp BAM engine.

Yes all 1.8t engines are the same.

Hi Mate,

I recently brough this: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=11031&xSec=357

it is a good quality kit that contains everything you need. My local garage were very impressed with the quality of the gear, they said it was good as if not better than the OE stuff they took off!

I think it even contains the new tensioner that Cupra Ross mentions.

Cheers

Lee

Lucky mate well done getting it sorted. ive seen the hydraulic tensioner failed and the belt hanging off
