Thank you for the video! Your tutorial is very detailed and even encyclopedic, I would say. I will surely make use of it if I need to replace a coolant pump in the future. And for the present I am waiting for delivery of a new thermostat from ebay. Cheers!
Congratulations for making us understanding safety and methodical procedures. In case you have any video regarding the replacement of upper radiator hose - thermostat, it would be of high value
Hello, I bought a SKF VKPC 84626 water pump for the Jaguar X-Type 2.5 2001 and I was surprised that the contact area with the gasket is rough instead of machined as usual. Is this rough finish cast aluminum correct to be installed with the gasket? Or it is better to install it with joint former. I am considering returning this pump and buying one with the machined surface (Febi 43504). Thanks
I put some non-hardening sealant by Victor Reinz on both sides as another video shows as well. Can't go wrong with that. I scratched my mating surface quite a bit because the old gasket material was so stuck to it. I sanded the surface a bit with very fine sand paper (2000, 3000).

I noticed that you fitted the radiator support bar, back to front
The pully nuts have to be tightened to 11 Nm according to the shop manual.

As long as the gasket is thick enough to absorb the surface irregularities, it shouldn't leak. Jointing compound won't hurt though...
