>> (you are having the pump done of course!)
Of course, on the Berlingo the pump is driven by the cambelt so gets replaced.
In one of life's kick in the wallet coincidences the Fabia's is also due. VAG UK advise changing at 5 years. Mines 2016 and <35,000. Will probably get it done for peace of mind but I suspect it would go to 10yrs without trouble. OTOH the original Berlingo started making odd tick, tick, tick, noises at about 4 years. At first I thought it was something in a tyre tread then realised it was tracking engine speed not road speed. Turned out an idler on the cambelt run was failing and pushing the belt off line causing it to fray.
Mrs B would never have even noticed...
On the Fabia's 1.2/90 petrol engine the water pump is at the other end of the block from the timing gear and driven by its own belt.
