Ferrari Mailing List: Re: changing water pump on '81 308 GTSi

[Jeff Greenfield (coyote]

Changing the water pump on a 308 is one if the easier jobs -:)

It's been awhile do this is kind of vague. Jack the car up, remove the  
right rear wheel and fender liner.

You'll be looking pretty much right at the water pump. Remove the  
belt, and as I recall there 4 or 5 bolts that hold the pump to the  
engine, remove these bolts. You will also have to remove the two hose  
clamps behind the pump and work the hoses off.

As I recall, some of the bolts hold the pump together and some hold  
the pump to the engine. I can't recall how many of which there are,  
but it should be pretty clear.

Toy may want to drain the cooling system before you begin, and be sure  
to bleed the cooling system properly when you refill it.

HTH,

Jeff
