Sounds like - the one on my 1.9L wasserboxer equipped DoKa sounded like that
since I bought it, I drove it for about 2 months before it started to leak
some coolant - at this point I could wiggle the pulley about 2mm or so...
definitely lucky I didn't have a problem (over heat = bad / leaking heads).

Subject: Water Pump - ?

Is it possible that a water pump going bad can sound like a can of marbles
being shaken ("-not stirred")????
