W124 Woes... "...then simply remove the 4 bolts securing the water pump"

[LostThePlot]

According to haynes that is all you do.

I have done two of them, (If you look from the N/S wing the bolts at NE and SW ) but the bolt as NW is a hex head, so a littla wary, and the fourth.......I can't find it at all!!!!

I have the rad off, and the power steering pump off, but can I H*ll as like find that fourth bolt. Can anyone supply me a pic of where this fourth bolt is?

TIA!!!

PS Just got the manual, Belt Tensioning....that looks like fun!!! NOT!!

The Haynes manual is worse than useless. Undo the bolts you can see. If the pump comes off you've found them all..

the belt path can be found in the diagram in the manual. You need to say if the car has aircon or not when you order the new belt. They're coded by length so accurately measuring the old one will help you get the right one

Item 68 shows the screws,4-off, but it doesn't show their exact locations , sorry.

The 4th bolt is right up at the top of the pump at the rad end. A real pig to get at.
