Opel Movano / Renault Master 2.5 diesel - water pump replacement

Replacing water pump on Opel / Vauxhall Movano 2.5 CDTi / Renault Master 2.5 dCi / Nissan Interstar - video showing replacing the water pump. And a phone drop (fortunately no damage to the screen).
Can be done without lifting the van, on the side of the road - as per video. I did put a jack and an axle stand to make more room, but it's not necessary. As long as you've got all the tools needed and know what your up against, it's an easy job, just take your time and clean everything properly. Sump plug require square key to undo, oil filter is inside a plastic housing with 30 or 32mm nut on top. If it hasn't been done by a heavy weight monkey before it should be easier to remove the sprocket nut and the sprocket itself, otherwise puller would be recommended as it will make the job easier again.

Perfect timing as I’m attempting this tomorrow. Q? Did you drain the oil after fitting the pump or before?

[@signummotors]

I'd drain it after replacing the pump, as during replacement of the pump you might get some leak into the internals of the engine and it will land in your sump - so I'd complete the pump replacement and after it's sealed (put deionised water in first before coolant - just to test, after all it's the cheaper 50% of the mix...) and it's not leaking - then replace the oil. If your oil isn't full of water, you may run the engine to warm it up and make draining oil easier, I didn't have that comfort, as there was about two litres of coolant in my oil already... Glad I've timed it right! :)
