Hi Colin,

     I never changed a Vanagon water pump before ... until mine started
making wockedy-wockedy noises & Muriel started peeing orange onto the
driveway! Took about 3 hours one Saturday morning, including flushing
and that funny Vanagon coolant-fill ritual (slopey driveway, fill, run,
fill, close rad screw, rinse, repeat) ....
