I found that the information on "Toms VW Page" is a good place to start.

Subject: Water pump

My water pump just died, and I'm wondering if this is a straightforward
repair, or is there anything complex about it? I can't find anything in
my Bently that shows how to replace it, but there is detailed directions
for draining, refilling and bleeding the system. Does anyone have any
advise or cautions for me?

Thanks much,
Sonia J
