got the pump out today.. Everything is smooth sailing until you get to the point of removing the clamps on the hoses. It's roulette on which direction they put the clamp, mine happen to be in a very awkward spot.
I have pictures all the way up to the point of getting the clamps off. Once you hit that point it's a free for all. Than it goes back on the same way it comes off.
Bottom bolts on the water pump are cake, the top 1 bolt is a pain, but it's super easy to move the radiator fan out of the way and take off the intercooler. Than you have all the room in the world to get to the top bolt. I will post up pictures tomorrow once i'm all finished.
I purchased Thermostat, Water Pump and 3 new bolts. 1 of my bolts was missing from the bottom though.
I would say the job should take less than 4 hours total. Less if your clamps are easily accessible. Also i recommend draining the radiator fluid before you pull off one of the hoses or it's shower time.
