This tutorial will show you how to replace the water pump on a Polo / Up / Fabia / Ibiza 1.2 3 cylinder engine. It’s an easy job to do, with good access and only requires a few basic tools.

DISPOSAL OF OLD COOLANT: DO NOT pour old coolant down any surface drain or sink. Pour it down your toilet and flush it away. It will then go to a treatment plant with the sewerage. Ethylene glycol coolant is extremely toxic to aquatic life, so if it goes down any surface drain it is likely to do considerable harm.
